Love Field's cancellations accounted for 8% of departing flights and 1% of inbound flights.

DFW Airport on Monday tweeted that it was "actively monitoring the weather forecast and is making the necessary preparations" ahead of the winter storm.

The airport asked flyers to check with their airline before coming to the airport for the latest status of their flight.
