Weekend travel disrupted by snow in eastern US
Millions of Americans heading into a holiday weekend are facing messy travel conditions, with snow, gusty winds and bitter cold snarling flights and roads across the eastern half of the country.
More than 3,200 U.S. flights were delayed Saturday afternoon as winter weather spread from the Great Lakes to the Northeast and into parts of the South.
Roughly 48 million people are under winter alerts. Lake-effect snow is targeting areas downwind of lakes Michigan, Erie and Ontario, where 5 to 10 inches of accumulation is possible through the weekend. Alerts are scattered over parts of the Northeast and the Appalachian Mountains, including Poughkeepsie, Portland, Concord and Lancaster in New York, where 1 to 3 inches of snow is possible.
