The “bomb cyclone” storm system caused whiteout conditions in some parts of the country and wreaked havoc with Bay Area air travel.
All three major Bay Area airports were experiencing the effects of the weather, even as the region saw cold but not stormy conditions. San Francisco International Airport had cancelled 46 flights; Mineta San Jose International Airport listed 35 cancellations, and Oakland International Airport listed 34, according to FlightAware.
Much of the travel meltdown has been caused by storms in Chicago and Denver. Both areas endured whiteout conditions Thursday, according to the NWS. Snow was not expected to fall Friday in Chicago, where temperatures were set to max out at 3 degrees. In Denver, where temperatures fell 37 degrees in one hour on Thursday, the thermometer was expected to get up to 19 degrees Friday after an early morning wind chill of -45.
In the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Horizon Airlines cancelled all flights at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport before noon, after conditions forced authorities to close the runways.
