On the Road (I Hope)
UPDATED
I'm at Logan Airport in Boston, waiting for a flight to Chicago San Diego and then to California San Francisco. My original schedule was to head back tomorrow, but the whopper storm approaching here is expected to dump a foot or two of snow amid high winds (can you say 8-foot snowdrifts?).
The airline suggested getting out while the getting was good.
This is the kind of advice I tend to take.
UPDATE: Still on the ground, 3 hours after my original departure time. Half the flights in and out are canceled at this point. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be checking back into the hotel in Cambridge this evening...
It's amazing to hear some passengers complaining about these problems. Like the airline people can do something about the weather...sheesh.

And I am stretched out on the love seat, scratching the dog's ears, having listened to the conference on the webcast, watched it and contributed certain insights on IRC, and sipped hot tea.
You're welcome to share our warmth and hospitality if you get diverted to Rome, NY. Just look me up.
Good luck with your travel!

Yeah, I've always wondered about folks complaining about the airlines as though the weather were there fault. OTOH, the airlines could be much better about informing people of the truly expected departure time, and of ensuring folks get to hotels/motels and the like, and if you're stuck on the ground on the plane, then of letting you get out so take a leak. The airlines to lie way too much to their passengers.
