HURRICANE SANDY. Jeez, what other explanation could you possibly need for flights all over the east coast being cancelled. Airlines aren't going to take chances with passenger safety, and while the "worst weather" might have been north of you, there was plenty of bad, non-flyable weather to go around elsewhere. Sandy's path took it right along the entire eastern seaboard, and until it actually made landfall, no one could be sure where it would hit. And some of the worst damage was barely 300 miles from RDU. The storm left destruction for several hundred miles.
