Seems like it’s just delays rather than a full stoppage.

From Newsweek: ‘Flights arriving into LaGuardia Airport were delayed by about 41 minutes as of 10:15 a.m. EST and gate hold and taxi delays were between 15 and 29 minutes, although FAA said it was decreasing. Arrival traffic was experiencing airborne delays of 15 minutes or less.‘

Regardless, US scoring a lot of own goals here.

Indeed, though I think I recall seeing "ground stoppage" on the FAA site when this news first broke.

The US system is highly integrated, any slowdowns causes a lot of ripples elsewhere. Plus its not like it will get better at all. Add a few snowstorms and soon nothing will move.
