Nor'easter cancels flights out of Sky Harbor airport

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Looking at the East Coast getting pummeled by another Nor'easter, it's hard not to be sympathetic.

"You know what, I am so sorry that they're cold," one person said. "They're going to be cold, they're going to be freezing, sub-zero temperatures.

Unless you're heading to greener pastures like this traveler.

"But we're going to Disneyland," she said.

It's the third time in two weeks the East has been hit hard by a winter storm, canceling more than 1,400 flights nationwide as of this morning.

Even folks from Tennessee say this winter has bit them to the bone.

"We had a really cold spell in January... single digits, but now it's moderating, so it hasn't been too bad, no single digits here, no!" one person said.

Only time will tell if more flights will be on the chopping block as the storm intensifies and snow accumulation grows, and it's always helpful to have a back-up plan, like this traveler who's heading back home to New Jersey.

"I'm enjoying it out here and my wife will shovel! Perfect!" they said.
