There’s an awful lot of weather at the moment. This week, some 4,500 flights have been cancelled in the US, notably in Atlanta, home to Delta, while companies, including ShipCo Transport, have announced that local offices are closing. And Washington, Philadelphia and New York are expected to see severe snow and ice tonight.
