While airports are technically open, the majority of flights have been canceled by individual carriers.

Jet Blue, which is the largest carrier at John F. Kennedy Airport, has canceled all of its flights out of the airport.

Continental, which is the largest carrier at Newark, has canceled all of its flights out of that airport and out of LaGuardia.

And, US Airways has canceled all their flights out of LaGuardia.

In addition to the snow, the windy conditions also make flying risky.

However, a few flights did make it out this morning, and those travelers say they could not be more thrilled to leave this wintery mix behind.

“Every other flight is cancelled to Raleigh, but mine’s not. I double checked,” said one traveler. “I haven’t slept, so I hope I can sleep on the flight. They’re saying it’s going so I’m going. My fingers are crossed.”

Those who could not get out, tried to remain in good spirits.

"Maybe I'll make a snow man over here or something," said Liga Sarosao, who was stranded while traveling from Brazil to Colorado.

"I am stuck, don't know for how long. Until Saturday or Sunday, maybe," said Sharon Petroskey, whose flight to Miami got canceled. "But everyone else I was talking to canceled and got a full refund, I'm waiting. I'm going to wait here in New York and see what happens. It's warm in Florida either, it's like 60 [degrees], but it's going to feel like a heat wave."

"We'd like to go home, but we'd rather be safe than sorry," said stranded traveler Chris Bellestri. "There's nothing we can do about it. Mother Nature said we can't fly, so we can't fly."

An American Airlines pilot headed to Miami, Florida this morning said travelers just need to be patient.

“We’re doing the best we can,” said American Airlines pilot Dean Salo. “And the number of priority for us is their safety. We’re just going to work with the system, within the system, and do the best we can to get them there safely and on time.”

Traffic on the Grand Central Parkway in Queens seems to be moving okay, despite the conditions.
