BA said in a statement: "Heavy snow is forecast to fall over the east coast of the US. We anticipate that some flights to and from the US will be disrupted.
"Many flights may need to have de-icing treatment on their wings, engines and fuselage, before they are cleared for take-off and this might also lead to some flight delays throughout the day."
The majority of the services disrupted so far are domestic flights in the US, with United Airlines already cancelling 481 flights for Tuesday, while Jet Blue has cancelled 461 and Express Jet 267. Rebooking options for United passengers can be read here.
