But on the other hand, my work life is not going to get any better in the next few months. I think I'm just going to take my chances. It's like seeing a fabulous but expensive dress (or gadget) and going back later to the store half-hoping that it will be there and half-hoping that it will be gone.

As long as I don't waste vacation days going nowhere, I think I'll be ok with going or not going on this trip.

Out of curiosity, though, does CO tend to prioritize its long-haul (e.g., trans-Atlantic) flights, especially where there is only one flight per day, in situations like this (assuming that some flights are getting out once the storm is over and the airport is just in clean-up mode)?
