The Midwest took the brunt of a storm front this weekend, but much of the United States was impacted. 

It wasn’t as bad as he could have been, and not as bad as it was in the past.

But there were still many delays and cancellations caused by the weather across the U.S. this weekend. According to FlightAware.com, more than 160 flights within, into or out of the U.S. have been canceled and another 1,500 have been delayed, as of 11:50 a.m. ET on Monday. 

On Sunday, 816 flights were canceled and over 6,627 were delayed, while Saturday saw another 974 canceled and 8,556 delayed. Friday’s flights were also impacted, with 840 canceled and 7,278 delayed.

The storm moved through the Midwest, impacting major airports along the way, such as Chicago O'Hare, Minneapolis−Saint Paul International, Denver International and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County.

Other facilities that dealt with the storm's impact include Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, New York City’s John F. Kennedy International, Boston Logan International and Dallas/Fort Worth International.
