Winter Storm Fern rages across US, canceling near-record flights — and leaving more than 1M without power

Winter Storm Fern pummeled 34 states in snow and ice on Sunday, cancelling more than 11,000 flights and leaving more than a million without power — with winter warnings still on for Monday.

As snow and sleet fell across more than two-thirds of the nation, more than 11,601 flight cancellations were reported by Sunday evening, according to the FlightAware tracking site.

The total quickly approached the record 12,143 cancellations that were seen on March 30, 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.
