If you’re in the Northeast, there’s a good chance you’ll be hunkering down inside for a few days as a major snowstorm batters the East Coast.

And if you have a flight to catch, well, there’s a high probability that it might not be taking off at all. Due to the blizzard, which is forecast to bring up to two feet of snow in some areas, thousands of flights have already been canceled or delayed.

Here’s what you need to know if you have a flight to catch.

As of the time of this writing, 5,348 flights within, into, or out of the United States today have already been canceled, according to data compiled by the flight tracking platform FlightAware. Additionally, another 703 flights have been delayed.

The number of today’s cancellations already outpaces yesterday, when 3,436 cancellations within, into, or out of the United States took place.

It is highly likely that as the day continues on—and the storm continues along its path—that more flights will be canceled or delayed.

And the majority of those cancellations and delays can be blamed on the winter storm that is bearing down across the Northeast.
