As residents of the Northeast were digging their cars out of the snow, many were also uncovering Internet resources that come in handy. These range from getting subway alerts on your smart phone to registering an airline complaint with the Transportation Department.
Useful websites abound, but here are two worth knowing about:
• For air travel conditions, FlightStats.com has an easy-to-use nationwide map of airports, and can also be used to check the status of individual flights.
• For weather, Weather Underground offers a helpful range of maps including categories like wind, precipitation, and snow depth.
