As southeastern winter storm fades, canceled flights and icy roads remain

After a record-setting weekend of snow walloped the southeast, commuters are facing canceled flights and icy roads Monday, while thousands are still without power.
The first winter storm of the season is fading but a warning remains in effect for Virginia, where 11 inches of snow has so far fallen in Roanoke -- the city's fourth highest December total on record.
Hundreds of flights out of Richmond, Virginia, as well as Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, were canceled Sunday. Airlines at each airport hope to resume normal operations late Monday.
Richmond International Airport said on Twitter it had 111 canceled flights Sunday night and 36 Monday. Raleigh-Durham International Airport had 245 flights canceled Sunday evening, according to the airport's website. Charlotte Douglas International Airport had more than 1,000 flights canceled Sunday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware.
