American Airlines alerted its travelers to severe weather impacts on its website.
The National Weather Service expects 12 to 16 inches of snow to fall in New York City and northern suburbs.
Brian Hurley, senior forecaster at the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center, says four nor'easters in three weeks is highly unusual, but it happens when a pattern locks in.
