Yes, the new law has forced airlines to "pre-cancel" flights 24 to 48 hours in advance of a major storm. I think an orderly process is much better than having planes sitting on runways for multiple hours.
Ironically, you posted this in the AA forum, the single airline which is still LOSING money.
It's always welcome when people answer their own question:
