Denver International Airport got another 1.5 inches of snow overnight, leading to more delays and cancellations Thursday.

For the third straight day, DIA is dealing with adverse weather. According to FlightAware.com, Nearly 60% of traffic on Tuesday was delayed with 129 cancellations. Wednesday was more of the same as 43% of flights were not on time, and 236 flights were canceled.

Before 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, DIA had 78 of its flights canceled, and another 94 were delayed. Many flights between Denver and Dallas airports have been canceled. Southwest, American Airlines and United have been impacted the most.

Always check in on your flight’s status before you head out to the airport.

The worst of the week’s weather is behind us, but Denver will remain cold with some chances of snow through Friday.

Peña Boulevard is icy or snow-packed in some spots but still open, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. Officials advise going slow and planning to take your time if you hit the roads on Thursday. If you get to the airport via public transport, it is best to check your trip as RTD gets hit with delays during poor weather.
