More Than 1,200 Cancellations at Chicago Airports
CHICAGO (AP) -- A winter storm moving across the Midwest has forced airlines to cancel more than 1,200 flights at Chicago's airport.

The Chicago Department of Aviation says Tuesday that more than 1,100 flights are canceled at O'Hare International Airport with delays of 45 minutes. The department says airlines have canceled more than 100 flights at Midway International Airport with no delays.

Both airports anticipate more cancellations as Tuesday goes on. Passengers are advised to check flight status and arrive at least two hours early for departure.

Forecasters predicted a hodge-podge of brutal winter weather over a third of the country, 2 feet of snow in some places, up to an inch of ice plus snow in others.
