Severe weather and delays disrupt Christmas travel across the U.S

Severe weather is disrupting Christmas travel across the U.S. The east coast faces snow and ice, affecting cities from Boston to Baltimore. Meanwhile, California deals with flooding and high surf after a storm caused significant damage and one fatality. Travel plans are further complicated by a recent technology issue that led to a temporary halt of American Airlines flights. Although the ground stop was lifted quickly, delays persisted, with some flights departing up to two hours late. Despite the morning delays, most afternoon flights are expected to operate on schedule. American Airlines is working to minimize disruptions for travelers during this busy holiday period.
