That sunset that finally shone over Chicago when the winter storm had finally subsided after clobbering the area this weekend is hardly a distant memory, but already, the area is preparing for another round of snow in the afternoon.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanksgiving weekend is over, but people are still traveling, and the Monday afternoon snow could make it all worse.<\/p>\n

O’Hare and Midway international airports on Monday morning were still recovering from cancellations, and the Monday snow could bring new disruptions.<\/p>\n

As of 5 a.m. Monday, there were 50 cancellations at O’Hare, along with average delays of 20 minutes. At Midway, schedules appeared to be catching up slowly, with a handful of delays and no cancellations as of 5 a.m.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, 8.4 inches of snow fell at O’Hare, making for a new record for single-day snowfall in November in Chicago. The snow led to nearly 1,500 cancellations<\/a> and more than 1,000 delays across Chicago’s airports on Saturday alone.<\/p>\n

Sunday \u2014 the busiest travel day following Thanksgiving<\/a> \u2014 saw more than 500 cancellations between more than 2,000 delayed flights. <\/p>\n

Two separate ground stops were issued late Sunday \u2014\u00a0one at Midway<\/a> when a Southwest Airlines jet slid off a taxiway into the grass, and the other at O’Hare because of snow and ice.<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, troubles continued, and passengers continued to bear the brunt of the impact. <\/p>\n

“We left Egypt about a day and a half ago, and have been trying to get back to Milwaukee since then,” said traveler Mary Jo Armstrong.<\/p>\n

A Winter Weather Advisory begins at 2 p.m. for the entire CBS Chicago viewing area as the new round of snow hits. A total of 1 to 3 additional inches are expected.<\/p>\n

The best advice for those headed to the airport is to take extra time, and keep checking airline apps for any flight changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That sunset that finally shone over Chicago when the winter storm had finally subsided after clobbering the area…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":417113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[960,20942,105761,5386,1818,58664,194461,36082],"class_list":{"0":"post-417112","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-flight-cancellations","10":"tag-flight-delays","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-illinois","13":"tag-ohare-international-airport","14":"tag-snow-storm","15":"tag-winter-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115644163179232354","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
