Ground stops are in effect until late evening, with an expected resumption time of 4:45 PM ET for JFK, 5 PM for Washington, and 5:30 PM for Philadelphia. Delays at JFK have reached 60 minutes, while those in Philadelphia are even worse at over two hours.
Flights from New York to Washington DC have all been stopped Monday, causing an air travel nightmare along the East Coast.
