Travelers to and from Milwaukee face cancellations and delays from winter storm
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Travelers were stuck Monday, March 16 trying to leave Milwaukee both at the train and bus station, and the airport.
According to FlightAware, as of midday, there were 38 delays at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and 79 cancellations.
Some of the stranded travelers include college students. One mother told CBS 58 her son is trying to get back to Emery University in Atlanta but was faced with a delay. The travel woes started last week with cancellations trying to get him home to Milwaukee.

"The journey started at the beginning of spring break when we had multiple delays coming into O'Hare only for it to be cancelled getting a flight to Cleveland and then taking a train home. So today we're still crossing our fingers that it's only delayed not canceled and hopefully we can get him back for his first class tomorrow," said Nicole Angresano, son flying to Atlanta.
There have also been commuter delays. CBS 58 spoke to a man who was trying to take a Greyhound bus from Milwaukee back home to Toronto, Canada but it's been canceled for days.
