Flights this afternoon from Chicago on United Airlines and from Detroit and the Twin Cities on Delta have been canceled. Delta and United have also canceled departures for Chicago, although a 1:40 p.m. Delta departure for Chicago departed on time.

“I've been sitting here since 11 o'clock this morning, and only one flight has left,” Jim McCarville, who is trying to get home to Florida.
