According to FlightAware.com, over 470 flights within, into or out of the U.S. were canceled already Monday and another 840-plus flights were delayed. Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport were the most impacted by the storm system.

On Sunday, over 2,100 flights in the United States were canceled and another 8,300-plus were delayed.
