Winter Storm "Petra" Affecting Travel

The storm that had arrived in New Mexico is called "Winter Storm Petra".

We haven't been hit too bad as we've received about 2-3 inches of snow. It is a little less than what we received during New Year's.

According to TravelPulse:
Travelers scheduled to fly to the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast on the United States this week could be dealing with a mix of snow and ice as Winter Storm Petra begins to impact travel. 
According to Weather.com, the storm system started dumping snow on New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri and Iowa Tuesday as it continued to move toward the Northeast. 
On Wednesday, Winter Storm Petra will bring snow across the upper Midwest before hitting Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C., possibly leaving the impacted regions under several inches of snow. 
As a result of the forecasted storm and its impact on critical destinations in the U.S., airlines have started issuing travel advisories and waiving change fees, as FlightAware.com is reporting at 4:30 p.m. ET that over 350 flights have already been canceled for Wednesday.

As I found out two months ago, having one's flight cancelled is not fun. I had to spend a night in Phoenix after my flight to Albuquerque was cancelled.
