TRAVEL IMPACTS
Norfolk International Airport said in a tweet that the complex system affecting much of the country was making for a challenging travel day. A photo included in the tweet was causing several cancellations for arriving and departing flights.

ORF officials said air lines including American, Delta and Southwest were offering change fee waivers for Wednesday and Thursday.
