I notice that there have been some suggestions for travel insurance. However, at least some of the policies I’ve seen in the US don’t cover weather unless the entire airport is closed for a certain duration, and then only for the flights cancelled during that specific closure period. If the airline(s) operate a much reduced schedule for the next X days, some of the insurance companies won’t pay for canceled flights on those dates because the airport as a whole wasn’t closed.
