Over 200 Flights Canceled by 5 Major Airlines Amid Strong Winter Storm

Earlier Thursday morning the National Weather Service warned of heavy snowfall in the Great Lakes region.

"In the wake of today's frontal passage, heavy snowfall on the northwest side of a potent surface low will linger over portions of the Great Lakes and Interior Northeast today. Accordingly, a handful of Winter Storm Warnings and Lake Effect Snow Warnings remain in effect for an additional 6-8" of snowfall," it said.

While the United States is bracing for heavy snow, Canada is getting the brunt of the storm on Thursday.
