Flight cancellations at Charlotte Douglas International Airport climbed to over 100, both inbound and outbound, as a result of the storm and it's lingering impacts on Thursday, according to the flight tracking site Flight Aware. Raleigh-Durham International Airport saw similar cancellations in the central part of the state.

Charles Woolsey of Alaska was stranded Wednesday at Charlotte Douglas trying to get back home.

"Just things you got to deal with in the wintertime," Woolsey said. "I have to deal with this at home."

Woolsey said he has to make two connecting flights total to get to Alaska. He's hoping things will eventually go as planned.

"I got my fingers crossed, that's about as confident as I can get," he said.

Jane Bernardel said her original flight to Charlotte Douglas from Kansas City was canceled.

"I had to wake my husband and [tell him] it looks like my flight's been canceled. I have to get there," Bernardel said.

But the airlines were able to get her on an earlier flight so she could make it to Charlotte. 

She's confident her return home will go as planned. 

"My flight is scheduled to leave Thursday night at 6:30, so we're good to go," Bernardel said.

Officials advised anyone traveling by air to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
