Summary

It spent nearly an hour and 15 minutes taxiing because of the skid.By 5:30 EST, the backlog of canceled flights in and out of O'Hare had increased to 1,075 and the delays numbered nearly 1,000, per FlightAware.In very inclement weather with slick taxiways, the chances of a plane sliding off the paved surfaces increases, USA TODAY aviation expert John Cox said."It can be safe to operate the aircraft based on previous reports but flight crews may still find that the taxiway is slicker than anticipated due to changing conditions," he said.
