ATLANTA - Hundreds of flights were canceled at Atlanta's international airport on Tuesday as snow fell over much of Georgia. Other southeastern states are seeing flakes or are under winter storm warnings as the system moves north.

Delta Air Lines canceled more than 500 flights by late morning, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

“As the snow continues to increase, the number of flights continues to decrease,” Delta spokesman Anthony Black said. “We’ll make additional cancellations throughout the day as we need to.”
