Regional travel a mess thanks to snow

(WPRI/AP) - While travel "in town" was more difficult Monday thanks to the snow, long-distance travel in and out of the Northeast was a flat-out mess. More than 900 flights were canceled in New York.

At T.F. Green Airport, about twenty-five flights were canceled Monday as of 1:10 PM -- 15 of which were departures. A few flights were delayed.

Most flights in and out of Boston's Logan International Airport were scrubbed, and the airport shut down for about 40 minutes to clear a runway. In New York, a majority of all flights at Kennedy, Newark and LaGuardia airports were canceled, according to the Port Authority. Travelers are being urged to call their carriers.

Philadelphia International Airport spokeswoman Phyllis VanIstendahl told the Associated Press about 44 people were stranded there overnight.

Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport remained open Monday, although a number of flights were canceled or delayed. Spokesman Jonathan Dean didn't have numbers on cancellations.

Greyhound and Peter Pan bus lines canceled trips affecting travelers in and out of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

All MBTA commuter rail lines in Massachusetts, including the Providence/Stoughton line, were running on normal schedules.
