Vegas airport travel better as most of US becomes frozen tundra


Ferocious winter weather loomed across much of the U.S. on Saturday, spreading Arctic cold and snow from coast to coast and casting a numbing chill over everything from football playoffs to presidential campaigns.

However, Las Vegas was enjoying seasonable temperatures and sunny skies — even if airlines and travelers at Harry Reid International Airport were experiencing some troubles because of the blasting of the nation’s heartland.

As of 4 p.m., there had been 218 flight delays in Las Vegas along with 43 cancelled flights in or out of the airport. Both numbers were considerably lower than Friday.

Nationwide, the numbers were 19,745 delays and 2,332 cancellations.

Travelers are best advised to check with their airlines for the latest information.

The closets bad weather to Las Vegas was in the Eastern Sierra Mountains with up to 4 inches of snow and 65 mph wind gusts through early Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

As the three-day Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday weekend began, the forecast for the U.S. was a crazy quilt of color-coded advisories, from an ice storm warning in Oregon to a blizzard warning in the northern Plains, high wind warnings in New Mexico and flood warnings in the mid-Atlantic.
