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.

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!

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

Usually a good sign if they have pre-planned a delay.
