Not just the storms north of us but we have to dodge the strikes here to get out. About half the people left yesterday & should have made it out ok, weather permitting.
Today there is a 24-hour transit strike & Wednesday there is another ATC strike. My wife & I are leaving Tuesday, hopefully in a window between strikes, although the unions are promising some random short strikes throughout the week.

I had a great time and look forward meeting you again, e.g. at SIN-DO ;-)
You're welcome, and thanks to all who managed to get here and (hopefully) leave despite the weather & strikes.
FlyerTalkers seem to be a pretty resilient bunch. Of the 4 definites who didn't make it, only one appeared to be due to the weather, none due to the strikes.
