A major snowstorm is causing widespread disruptions at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), with flights delayed or canceled and travel plans thrown into disarray.
The storm, which has blanketed the region in heavy snow and icy conditions, has created hazardous travel both in the air and on the ground.
Passengers are urged to check flight statuses frequently and contact airlines for rebooking options. Many carriers have issued travel waivers, allowing passengers to change their plans without penalty.
Airport authorities are working to clear runways and keep operations running, but delays are expected to persist as the storm continues.
On the ground, icy roads and reduced visibility have made getting to and from the airport challenging.
Travelers are advised to allow extra time and use caution while driving. Public transportation options may also be affected due to the weather.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings for the area, forecasting additional snow accumulation and freezing temperatures.
