Do you notice that all of the cancelled flights are American carriers?? Strange.
In my opinion, the fog wasn't that bad
It all depended where you were and when. As I was driving along Country Hills Blvd it just got worse and worse. I came up to some traffic lights and barely saw them intime (and of course they were red) This was between 1430 and 1445.
I would say too that the airlines got caught off guard by another bad Weather forecast. The afternoon was supposed to be good. I drove down and back in one day. In the morning the Calgary radios were saying flurries ending by noon. When I went through about 1100 it was nice, almost sunny and thought that it would be a nice drive home. Was I surprised!!!
