Thousands of flights are facing delays and cancellations across the Midwest and East Coast due to a major winter storm.

Many travelers returning home over the Thanksgiving weekend ran into significant disruptions at major airport hubs.

Twelve inches of snow fell over the weekend, particularly near and around the Great Lakes region.

The storm has heavily impacted Chicago O’Hare International Airport, according to the Associated Press.

Well over half of its flights were delayed or canceled, creating a ripple effect across the national air travel system.

The Federal Aviation Administration says planes had to be de-iced at several airports across the country.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport remains unaffected at this time.
