As of 0930, Reuters, citing flight-tracking website FlightAware, reported 1,643 flights were canceled, and 1,238 flights were delayed nationwide.
Website FlyChicago reported at 1000 ET that most of those cancellations were at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (757 cancellations) and Midway International Airport (261 cancellations). O'Hare issued a ground-stop delay earlier this morning.
Air travel disruptions are due to a powerful winter storm dumping heavy snow across the Midwest and the Great Lakes. Blizzard warnings are in effect for six states, including Nebraska and Wisconsin.
The National Weather Service in Chicago has asked all drivers to stay off the roads.
