D/FW AIRPORT — Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was operating under a weather warning Tuesday evening as conditions deteriorated.

Airport workers have been de-icing planes since 7 a.m., and that process is creating delays and cancellations.

As of 5 p.m., 125 flights had been canceled, or about 15 percent of all regular departures.

What started as rain Tuesday morning switched over to snow about 3:30 p.m.

Inbound flights were averaging 75-minute delays.

"If it were up to me, I'd wait until tomorrow when I knew it would be safer to fly," said passenger Jeff Fernandez.

The schedule upheaval is likely to have a domino effect at D/FW, a major hub for connecting flights.
