Even though the cancellation list at the Portland International Airport was long on Thursday, folks figured out ways to cope. Mark Arrow was trying to get a flight back to his New York home. "I had a 10:30 p.m. flight out, so I left 5 hours early. I got 20 minutes from the airport and got shut down. Stopped. I was there for 10 hours," he said. The West Linn Cheer Team was heading to Anaheim, Calif. to compete in the Nationals. Mia Harmon and her team were a confident of a win. Now they just need to get there. "You know, it's a little stressful but we're very optimistic," she said. "We're good at modifying and turning around."
