Planes are being deiced at Denver International Airport as snow flurries continue

Snow continued to fall at Denver International Airport on Wednesday evening, and the FAA has a notice posted that deicing operations are ongoing.

A Federal Aviation Administration ground stop for the airport that was in place in the early evening due to snow and ice expired at 6 p.m.

A winter weather advisory for Denver that was in effect during the day also expired at 6 p.m.

In an early afternoon social media post, airport officials said "If you're headed to DEN, don't forget to check with your airline for the most updated information before heading to the airport." They also thanked the crews doing the deicing, as well as ramp and maintenance crews: "Thanks to the staff who are braving the elements today to get you on your way!"

The snow total for the airport early Wednesday afternoon was 3.5 inches. Updated totals weren't available at nightfall.
