WARWICK, RI -- Hopeful travelers and those waiting for their loved ones started settling this afternoon for what could be a long wait at T.F. Green Airport.

Some were already sleeping, while others propped up their bags against walls and whatever other comfortable surface they could find. There was a lot of cell phone-checking too as the minutes -- and hours -- passed.

Starbucks was bustling; not so much the security checkpoint.

A supervisor for Continental Airlines, who did not identify himself, said his airline started cancelling flights at 6 a.m. due to weather conditions in destination cities.

So far, all runways are open and crews continued treating the runways this afternoon as the snow started to accumulate.

If you are traveling this weekend or picking someone up, check with your airline before heading to the airport.

In some cases, flights won't be rescheduled until Monday.

Iris Delangel, a Johnson & Wales student, said she planned to spend the night at the airport hoping her cancelled 6 a.m. flight to Texas -- with two layovers along the way -- would be leaving tomorrow at 6 a.m.
