The National Weather Service has lifted all winter storm and blizzard warnings in the wake of Winter Storm Juno, which wreaked havoc on the Northeast on Monday and Tuesday.
Likewise, travel bans in places like New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts have also been lifted.
Heavy snow, strong wind gusts and coastal flooding impacted areas from New York to New England, resulting in widespread travel restrictions and causing major headaches for travelers.
Nonetheless travel conditions across the region have improved considerably as of Wednesday morning, with only 636 total flights within, into or out of the U.S. having been canceled as of 10:15 a.m. ET, according to FlightAware.com.
By comparison, there were 7,621 canceled flights nationwide on Monday and Tuesday combined.
Boston's Logan International Airport and New York's LaGuardia Airport have been impacted the most by cancellations on Wednesday, with the two airports combining to account for 315 total flight cancellations as of this writing.
According to Weather.com, Boston measured more than two feet of snowfall.
Nearby John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport are also still bouncing back from Juno. More than 100 flights for Wednesday have been canceled at JFK, while Newark's total flight cancellations for Wednesday have surpassed 70.
Although the winter storm warnings and travel bans have been lifted, a pair of developing storm systems could potentially bring more snow and headaches to travelers in the Northeast over the weekend, according to Weather.com's Jon Erdman:
"Travel may be impacted Saturday in the Corn Belt, Sunday in the Ohio Valley/southern Great Lakes (including flights out of Chicago O'Hare and the I-80, 70 and 90 corridors) and Monday (potential major air delays in the Northeast hubs, difficult Monday morning commute)."
For now, residents and travelers alike will be focused on recovering from Mother Nature's latest wrath.
