Winter storms will affect flights across the United States

Snow, sleet, rain, thunderstorms, ice, hail, and strong winds – this is the weather forecast for most places across the continental United States. Tens of thousands are without power, and emergency services are keeping tabs on the potential for roof collapses, downed trees, mudslides, and rising rivers.

Continental Airlines announced travel options for customers whose flight plans may be affected by severe winter weather conditions forecast for various cities across the US.

Weather conditions are expected to make air travel difficult, forcing some delays and cancellations of flights at airports across the country.
