After a weekend full of snow and ice, the impact of storms hitting the Northeast has carried into Monday, impacting travel throughout the region.

According to FlightAware.com as of 9:15 a.m. ET, over 720 flights within, into or out of the United States were canceled Monday and another 900-plus have been delayed. The disruptions follow around 1,100 flights canceled Sunday and another 578 canceled Saturday.

The airports most impacted by the storm include Boston's Logan International, New York City's LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International, New Jersey's Newark Liberty International, Philadelphia International and Washington D.C.'s Reagan National.

The majority of large airlines serving the Northeast issued travel advisories for the storm and were waiving change fees for impacted passengers, including American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United and more.

The storms are also impacting rail travelers, as all Amtrak service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg was temporarily suspended Monday due to issues with the overhead wires caused by the snow and ice. Scheduled service will be restored pending repairs.

According to AccuWeather.com, the storm system is moving north and out to sea, but the low temperatures are here to stay for the first week of March. Travelers should call their airlines to ensure their flights are still on schedule before heading to the airport.
