Flight cancellations are piling up by the thousands ahead of what could be one of the biggest winter storms to hit the U.S. in recent memory.
The first flakes from the storm have yet to fall, but carriers have begun canceling flights in anticipation of the storm – dubbed "Winter Storm Fern" by The Weather Channel.
More than 350 flights for Friday had already been canceled as of 10:50 p.m. EST on Thursday, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. Saturday's schedules had taken an even bigger hit, with more than 1,065 additional cancellations on the books. All told, that means airlines by Thursday evening had canceled more than 1,400 flights for Friday and Saturday, with the tally certain to grow.
