NEW YORK (AP) — Airlines canceled more than 2,000 flights Monday as the latest winter storm hit the U.S. East Coast. 
  
 The hardest hit cities were Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore. On Sunday, airlines scrapped nearly 2,000 flights in Dallas, Chicago and Houston, according to flight tracking site FlightAware.com. There are more than 30,000 flights in the United States on a typical day. 
  
 Airlines have canceled more than 87,000 domestic flights since Dec. 1, a record number. Carriers are now much more likely to cancel flights at the first sign of bad weather. 
  
 For instance, more than 550 flights to and from New York were canceled Monday, even though the city only got a light dusting of snow. Original forecasts had called for much higher snow totals. ||||| Monday Snowstorm Continues for Virginia, Delmarva

 A far-reaching storm with substantial snow and ice was finishing its wintry task over the mid-Atlantic on Monday. 
  
 This will remain a complex winter storm with plunging temperatures setting the stage for treacherous ice and substantial snow and record lows. In some cases, the ice and snow are following a period of rain and even violent thunderstorms. 
  
 Fresh arctic air pouring into the Northeast will spare places from I-80 northward in the Northeast from the snowstorm. At most, an inch or so will graze the New York City area. Southern New England should escape with very little, if any, snow. 
  
 AccuWeather.com meteorologists have determined that the heaviest snow will instead focus farther south over the mid-Atlantic from the mountains of West Virginia to northern and central Virginia, Delaware, Maryland and southern New Jersey through Monday. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Dover, Del., and Atlantic City, N.J., are bracing for substantial snowfall that will total 6 inches. Some places will even have amounts reach a foot. 
  
 Snowfall rates at the height of the storm may reach 2 inches per hour, causing the snow to quickly clog major interstates.

 Commuters will face extremely treacherous travel, along with lengthy flight delays and cancellations on Monday. Residents will be dealing with more disruptions to daily routines and school cancellations. 
  
 The snowstorm comes after temperatures surged into the 40s and 50s across much of the mid-Atlantic on Sunday. Any wet roads or sidewalks will rapidly freeze as colder air arrives and the rain transitions to a period of ice, then the heavy snow. 
  
 Evident by the icy conditions that unfolded around Dallas on Sunday morning, arctic air is having no trouble pressing farther south than previously anticipated, and AccuWeather.com is concerned for rain changing to a glaze of ice as far south as Charlotte, N.C., later on Monday. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 Bridges and overpasses would be the first to turn icy, and snowflakes could even bring the ice to an end in Raleigh, N.C. 
  
 This storm system has been responsible for dropping heavy amounts of sleet from Texas into the Tennessee Valley. An incredible 6 inches of sleet was reported in Huntingdon, Tenn., with 4- to 6-inch amounts of sleet common across northwestern Tennessee. 
  
 Freezing rain left thousands of customers without power in Arkansas as of early Monday morning, and also left a glaze of ice around Nashville. The combination of sleet and freezing rain made roads very slippery in much of Kentucky, with crashes closing a portion of Interstate 75 south of Lexington on Sunday evening.

It may be March, but the winter weather isn't over. The East Coast is once again getting pummeled by snow, with Washington, DC, and other mid-Atlantic cities expecting between six and 12 inches, AccuWeather reports. Ice, meanwhile, could reach to Charlotte, NC. Virginia, Tennessee, and Delaware are among states declaring states of emergency, CNN reports, and school closings stretch to Dallas. Here's hoping you don't have to travel today: Driving is likely to be dangerous, and some 2,000 flights have already been canceled, particularly in New York, Philadelphia, and DC, the AP reports. In Washington, where federal offices are closed, few are even taking the subway, the Post reports, and Amtrak has cut service around Wilmington, Delaware. The weekend, CNN notes, saw two deaths tied to weather: An SUV driver hit a wall in Arkansas, and a pedestrian died in Oklahoma's freezing rain.
