US: Nor'easter: 1,200+ flights already canceled (and counting) through Wednesday
Airlines have pre-emptively canceled nearly 1,135 flights for Tuesday and another 133 for Wednesday, as of 5 pm ET Monday. The wave of cancellations come ahead of the third nor’easter that's expected to hit the region in as many weeks. Hardest hit was Boston, where two-thirds of Tuesday's flights had been canceled as of Monday afternoon. About half had already been grounded at the airports serving Hartford, Conn., and Providence, R.I. More cancellations – possibly hundreds more – were likely as airlines further braced for a storm that could bring up to 2 feet of snow to eastern New England. Monday, about 290 flights had been canceled nationwide; at least a third of those came as airlines canceled late-day flights bound for New England and the Northeast to prevent planes from becoming stuck. <br/>
