Winter storm sweeping U.S. continues to disrupt San Diego flights

SAN DIEGO — Flights into and out of San Diego International Airport continued experiencing cancellations and delays today due to a major winter storm gripping a vast stretch of the United States.

As of Monday, the number of canceled flights has dropped significantly since Sunday, from 79 to 23, and the number of delayed flights has decreased from 47 to 15, according to FlightAware.

Most of the affected flights involved travel to and from Dallas and airports along the eastern seaboard.

The impact on San Diego departures and arrivals comes amid thousands of other flights canceled or delayed nationwide, as a mix of snow, ice and sub-freezing temperatures bear down on a wide swath of the country.

The storm that began over the weekend was expected to continue into this week, according to forecasters.
