A snowstorm that blanketed the Washington, D.C. area -- closing two airports -- was moving into New England today, and numerous flights out of Southern California were either delayed or cancelled as the storm impact rippled across the
continent.
By midmorning Pacific Time, planes were being delayed on the ground at
LAX for three hours if they were headed towards Philadelphia or Newark,
the FAA reported. Flights to other airports in the Tri-State Region around New York were
experiencing only slight delays, however.
A record setting snowfall of about 16 inches of snow had closed Reagan National and
Baltimore-Washington International airports Saturday. At least 38 flights into the region from
LAX<NO1>ZZTO<NO> were cancelled Saturday.
The backlog of holiday travelers was evident Saturday afternoon at Los Angeles International
Airport, as flights into Chicago and virtually every major airport north of Charlotte started
experiencing delays.
Snowplows at Andrews Air Force Base, however, cleared the way for President Barack
Obama's plane to land as he returned from climate change summit in Copenhagen.
