Dozens of cancellations at RDU during winter storm
WE'RE SEEING HERE FROM THE SNOW
CAPITAL OF OUR AREA IN ROXBORO,
ERIC MILLER'S WRAL. THERE.
>> AND AS WITH ANY WEATHER
EVENT TO TASTE A PHONE, YOUR
AIRLINE TO JUST CHECK ON YOUR
FLIGHT STATUS, THE
CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS HAVE
BEEN BUILDING ALL MORNING WRL'S
DESTINY. PATTERSON HAS BEEN
KEEPING AN EYE ON THE BIG BOARD
AT RDU INTERNATIONAL ALL
MORNING LONG AND S AND I KNOW
YOU HAVE COME ACROSS SOME
STRANDED PASSENGERS AS WELL.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, IT ALL GOES
BACK TO THE DELAYS AND THE
CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS HAVE
SEEN THE BIGGEST IMPACT THERE.
NOW AT 16 AND WE'RE AT 70
CANCELLATIONS AWAY. YOU TAKE A
LOOK AT THE BOARD HERE. WE'RE
SEEING A LOT OF THAT ORANGE POP
UP. THAT MEANS CANCELLATIONS
AND DELAYS. I MEAN, WE'RE
LOOKING AT CHARLOTTE, CHICAGO,
NO NEW YORK CITY. WE'RE ALSO
LOOKING AT PHILADELPHIA.
SO A LOT OF CITIES THAT ARE
IMPACTED FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO
LEAVE HERE FROM RDU. I'VE ALSO
TALKED TO PEOPLE THAT EITHER
HAVE OR HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE
THEIR ITINERARIES SO THAT THEY
COULD LEAVE OUT A LITTLE BIT
EARLIER BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE
WE'RE SEEING THE BIGGEST
IMPACTS IS THOSE AFTERNOON
FLIGHTS. ONE FAMILY SAYS THAT
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET TO
FLORIDA FOR A CRUISE.
>> WE WANT TO TRY TO IF YOU'RE
A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, JUST TO
BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING WE
KIND OF ONLY HAD ONE SHOT AT
THIS LIFE DOESN'T GET OUT FOR
ABOUT A LOOK. SO FINGERS
CROSSED. WE'RE ONE OF THE LUCKY
ONES TO GET TO OUR DESTINATION.
>> HERE AT RDU, WE ARE
DEFINITELY STARTING TO SEE THAT
SNOW COME DOWN AROUND THE
AIRPORT. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT
RDU HAS PUT OUT NEW EQUIPMENT
AND I'VE ALSO SEEN SOME SALT ON
THE RUNWAYS AS WELL IS SO THAT
THEY CAN TRY TO GET AS MANY
FLIGHTS OUT AS POSSIBLE.
BUT AGAIN, IF YOU ARE TRAVELING
TODAY, YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING
TO WANT TO CHECK IN WITH YOUR
AIRLINE TO SEE IF YOUR FLIGHT
IS STILL GOING TO TAKE OFF OR
IF THERE ARE ANY DELAYS OR
