A wave of canceled flights is moving north to New York and Boston as the first major winter storm of 2018 threatens to paralyze cities and airports over the next couple of days.

Airlines have scrapped more than 2,100 Thursday flights so far on top of 558 Wednesday, according to FlightAware, an online tracking service. The winter blast is expected to bring snow, ice and freezing temperatures from Florida to Nova Scotia.
