BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — A major mid-Atlantic storm pummeled the region from Kansas to Washington D.C. impacting travelers at Logan Airport with delays and cancellations.
Tens of millions of people were under winter storm advisories while tens of thousands of businesses and homes have been without power.
And while forecasters say New England was spared the effects of 'Blair' by high altitude winds that pushed it south, storms this big and powerful have a domino effect on air travel.
At Logan Airport on Monday morning, amid dozens of cancellations and delays, anxious flyers were regularly checking their flight status.
Some were in better shape than others depending on the airline and destination.
"I'm heading off to Palm Desert, California," said one fortunate flyer who added the purpose of her trip is to get away from all the brutal winter weather affecting so many other travelers.
Among the destinations most affected by the storm - Chicago, Washington D.C., and Baltimore.
"It's tough when weather impacts travel. But there's nothing you can do about it. Just sit back and enjoy a little time to yourself," said Jason from Connecticut.
As of Monday morning, Blair had claimed at least five lives in the U.S.
