Nearly 3,900 flights were canceled on Monday as of 9 a.m. New York time, according to FlightAware. That follows the roughly 11,600 cancellations on Sunday, which bore the brunt of disruptions as the worst storm in years coated vast stretches of the US South and Mid-Atlantic in ice, and effectively shut down some of the country’s busiest aviation hubs.
