As if the weather isn't bad enough, United Airlines this morning suffered nationwide delays due to a computer malfunction

"We are experiencing issues with our passenger service computer system," United said in a statement. "We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible and apologize to our customers for any inconvenience."

Passengers immediately took to social media to relay the problems.

And they used Twitter to shoot questions directly to United.

United has one of the better airline social media staffs and has been replying to passengers fairly quickly.

@karlito_2k9 We apologize for the delays. ^JJ

The cause of the computer glitch was unknown - many remember the issues the carrier had in the summer of 2012 soon after it merged with Continental - but United reported its systems were back online by Noon EST.
