UA651 has been stuck in the snow attempting to depart for a good bit now. Sounds like someone is headed out to drop some substance down to give traction.pic.twitter.com/DJPdfLrZnC

Current ORD is departing aircraft using 10L only. There’s a handful of of aircraft out there but they seem to be moving them. This is why precanceling flight is so important. Helps avoid a really bad situation on the ground.
Conditions are so bad at ORD that aircraft are going over their anti-ice hold over times and making it to the runway and having to go back to the gate to get sprayed again. This with just a few aircraft moving around on the ground.
Copa 235 from PTY is on the ground. This is definitely the last passenger arrival for a while. Things are still very nasty on the ground. Many aircraft slowly getting all the way to runway and needing to taxi back for deicing.pic.twitter.com/0LqGBI9GPQ
Many inbounds to ORD right now. Still snowing there. Let’s see how this first morning arrival bank goes.
AA1606 from SAN already thinking twice about making the approach into ORD.pic.twitter.com/pg3na3ZZQE
AeroMexico 660 just landed from GDL. Said the approach was rough and braking action was medium. A few other arrivals are in a hold right now. Seems like things should slowly improve here with a very reduced schedule.
Things haven’t improved much at ORD. 2nd tier ground stop and what appears to be a single arrival runway are making operations challenging. Average delay is about 1.5 hours and that’s with many cancelations.pic.twitter.com/wCD4xfjSZ1
Looks like ORD is using 2 arrival runways and most airborne holds have been cleared for approach. This should allow for the 2nd tier ground stop to be lifted soon. Things are improving!
Thanks for this thread! Super interesting and helpful. Hoping to come in via BOS tonight
Hopefully things keep improving though I was expected delays to continue. They have a lot of traffic to clear up.
Totally. Already have a 2 hour delay so we’ll just have to wait and see I guess
