There is not a specific amount of snow that they will cancel a flight for - there are many factors that are involved in order to cancel a flight, ie. visibility, turbulence, runway conditions, etc..
I would suggest that you pack your bags and get ready to travel

Much of this is determined by where your plane and others are coming from and going to. If your plane is arriving from Chicago let's say and you plan to board in New York and Chicago is experiencing bad weather then your flight will be delayed because the equipment (the plane) is stuck in Chicago...even if New York is sunny and dry. In addition other flights arriving in New York may be delayed or departures delayed because of weather in other airports. That leads to a screw up in New York's arrivals and departures and that could affect your flight.

Chances are your flight won't be cancelled, though it might be delayed. Columbus is a fairly major airport, and they'll likely plow things out fairly quickly. If you're on a non-stop flight to Dallas, you'll probably go out as soon as they've got things clear. If you're transferring somewhere (Chicago, Atlanta, or wherever), it will depend on what the weather's like in the hub city.
Unfortunately they won't make the decision to delay or cancel until close to your departure time. You have to assume you're flying and get to the airport assuming you'll be on time.

that is positive if lets anticipate the elements, yet considering we received't it isn't a possibility to inform you in case your flight is going to be in the back of agenda. although, a snow bathe isn't a huge deal; typically countless inches of snow or a snowstorm are the excuses flights are in the back of agenda. there are a determination of different factors; your plane will be coming in from elsewhere and may also be in the back of agenda arriving at ORD, for this reason your departure will be in the back of agenda. Or there will be floor holds through ATC in ORD or MIA, or climate on the way that could want to position off departure or require re-routing. sturdy luck; only roll with it. that is that element of year.

Pack, you never know. It depends how flying conditions are, and what the whether is like at the destination. Be on the safe side and get ready to go.

its not the amount of snow, but rather turbulence in the air and slickness of the runways. so it really depends. i dont think it will be icy in ohio (im in kentucky). just stay tuned to your local news and the airports internet site to keep informed of cancellations

I would think that you should be okay, but it all depends on how much snow you already have on the ground
