“Significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice will make travel very hazardous or impossible,” the service said in an advisory for New Jersey. More than 2,000 flights had already been canceled on Tuesday evening at the three major airports that serve New York. Airlines said they were waiving fees to change flights from and to the East Coast. Main impacts will be heavy snow, strong winds, coastal flooding, and marine hazards. Widespread power outages were also expected on Wednesday as heavy snow and ice along winds may topple trees and power lines, the service said.
