We will, however, continue to move originating and terminating animals in these cities (animals that either originate or terminate at EWR or CLE on Wednesday).

We just received this update from our Continental QuickPak PetSafe representative:
We've been advised by our System Operations team that we will have deteriorating weather conditions in the Newark area on Thursday, January 15 and as a result, we will see cancelled flights and extended delays here at Continental Airlines. Because of this, we are not taking any additional bookings for live animals that will originate, terminate or transit the Newark hub on January 15 (we're still accepting bookings for all other cities, even in the Northeastern U.S.). We are also evaluating the animals that are already booked in/out or through Newark for Thursday and will be contacting customers if we see their flight will be affected.
