A powerful winter storm has triggered 183 flight cancelations and 44 flight delays on Thursday at Denver International Airport, an online flight service says.
DIA officials have asked airline passengers to check their flight status before going to the airport and to give themselves more time to get to the airport because of poor driving conditions.
Airport crews worked through the night to keep runways clear, according to a 5:12 a.m. DIA tweet.
Good morning! Airport crews worked through the night to keep runways and roadways clear. Some cancellations and delays are expected today, so be sure to check your flight status with your airline!

United Airlines has canceled 74 flights or 17 percent of their total flights and delayed another 9 flights in and out of DIA, according to FlightAware.
SkyWest has canceled 49 flights, which is 17 percent of its scheduled flights, FlightAware indicates.
The cancelations are only a fraction of the 755 flights canceled when a winter storm rolled into Colorado on Wednesday.
