Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has canceled 191 flights scheduled to take off on Tuesday as snow moves into the region.

There have been 40 delays reported at the airport Tuesday morning as a result of the winter weather, according to Flight Aware.

Airlines made the call to cancel flights early in hopes of stopping a domino effect across the country. Work is underway to make sure other flights can depart as normal after the winter storm system passes.

"We've got up to 46 different pieces of equipment that are set to go from snowplows to sand trucks," said a Sea-Tac spokesperson. "Then the airlines from their standpoint are working with their deicing equipment."

1. Daughter is supposed to fly in from Montana -

where it will be MINUS 37 on Thursday when she flies out to SeaTac to join us for Christmas.

This mom is more than a little anxious!

Personally, I don't care if I see family on some randomly designated day or another less chaotic time!!
