More than 700 flights were cancelled yesterday, other flights were delayed by up to 90 minutes and further disruption is expected due to strong winds and heavy rain.
In Chicago, the rain is expected to turn to snow. Accumulations of up to 30cm of snow are expected in some areas of the Midwest and motorists have been warned of bad driving conditions.
