Snowstorm in Washington leads to flight cancellations

Bloomberg

Washington DC could get another four inches (10 centimetres) of snow from a storm that’s already caused hundreds of flight cancellations and several deaths as it cuts a wide swath across
the US from St. Louis to the mid-Atlantic.
Washington’s Reagan National Airport had recorded 5.4 inches of snow, AccuWeather reported. The nation’s capital hadn’t received more than 4.1 inches from a single snowstorm since January 2016.
Totals could reach 10 inches before the sun returned on Monday and temperatures will rise into the 40s Fahrenheit by Tuesday, said Rob St. Pierre, a meteorologist with Hometown Forecast Services in Nashua, New Hampshire.
“They will get off-and-on snow today and then it will clear out late tonight,” said St. Pierre, who provides forecasts for Bloomberg Radio. “There will be sunshine on Tuesday and on Wednesday.”
Almost 800 flights had been cancelled within, into or out of the US, the majority from the three Washington-area airports — Reagan, Dulles International and Baltimore/Washington International — according to FlightAware, a Houston-based airline tracking service.
Earlier, St. Louis got 10.2 inches, its biggest fall since 2014, with some parts of Missouri getting more than a foot, according to the National Weather Service.
Significant flight delays were experienced into and out of St. Louis.
