NASA has released a
terrifying image of the monster storm bearing down on the country as
Thanksgiving travelers using the East Coast's major airport face
cancellations and massive delays.
The photograph, taken from space by the Suomi satellite, shows the sprawling winter storm Boreas moving from the Midwest and bringing a messy mix of snow, rain and howling winds to the East.
By Wednesday morning, Boreas will impact the entire East Coast, likely creating havoc on the roads and in the air when as many as 43 million people are expecting to be traveling.
More than three million people are expected to filter through airports over the weekend, and high winds and low clouds could snarl takeoffs and landings at some of the busiest hubs on the East
By Wednesday morning, more than 300 flights had been canceled across the country and more than 600 were delayed, according to FlightStats.
NBC reported that there are already average delays of 93 minutes at La Guardia Airport in Queens, New York. Transportation officials advised travelers to check with their airlines before traveling.
The Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania and northern New York could get six to 12 inches of snow on Wednesday before the storm moves into western Maine on Thursday.
