CNN
Airlines have canceled thousands of flights for Saturday as a powerful winter storm packing strong winds and many inches of snow is set to envelop major cities on the East Coast.
According to FlightAware, nearly 1,500 flights within, into or out of the United States are canceled Saturday, with East Coast hubs being the most affected. Boston's Logan airport, which is a hub city for JetBlue and Delta Air Lines (DAL), has 231 cancellations, the most of any US airport. For Saturday, JetBlue (JBLU) has axed 40% of its schedule. About 8% of United's (UAL) schedule for Saturday has also been canceled.
New York airports, including John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia, have about 200 cancellations combined. Both of those airports have sizable operations for Delta, JetBlue and American (AAL). Newark Liberty in New Jersey, which is United's hub, has 111 cancellations.

Before the stealth bombers streaked through the Middle Eastern night, or the missiles rained down on suspected terrorists in Africa, or commandos snatched a South American president from his bedroom, or the icy slopes of Greenland braced for the threat of invasion, there was an idea at the White House.

More than two weeks after the stunning US raid on Caracas that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the political confrontation over the future of Venezuela is rapidly coalescing around two leaders, both women, who represent different visions for their country: the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, who stands for continuity, and opposition leader María Corina Machado, who seeks the restoration of democracy.
