Hundreds of flights were canceled in the United States Tuesday and more than 1,200 delayed as a winter storm bringing heavy snow, winds and coastal flooding moved into the Northeast.

As of 10 a.m. ET, more than 680 flights within, into or out of the US had been canceled, according to flight tracking site FlightAware. More than 1,200 flights were delayed.

Boston Logan and LaGuardia both had about 180 cancellations, with more than 100 at Newark Liberty.

Boston Logan advised travelers to check with their airlines on flight status before coming to the airport.

Newark Liberty International Airport also urged travelers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport and to allow extra travel time.

“Today, a wintry mix of snow and rain is expected in the NJ/NY metro area. These conditions, and anticipated wind gusts, may cause hazardous travel conditions,” Newark airport tweeted Tuesday.
