Friday saw the cancelation of hundreds of flights in and out of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and Midaway International Airport as snow covered the region in a thick cold blanket. As of 3:30 pm 700 flights had been canceled. O'Hare is a major hub in the U.S. and is the second busiest airport in the country, behind Atlanta. Chicago and the surrounding region was under a winter storm warning until midnight on Friday and the city's snowplows had a difficult time keeping the roads clear. The estimated amount of snowfall in the Chicago area was 4-6 inches with some areas receiving as much as 9 inches. The expected path of the storm was to take it east toward New York, possibly affecting regions as far south as Washington. See the original Google News article for more details. |
