Ice storms are pretty much the worst. I challenge you to name any airport that would be able to sustain this amount of ice and not have major disruptions. It's frustrating, the result of 80-90% load factors mean that we have literally thousands of people trying to find those scattered few seats.
Looks like Monday morning non-stop RDU-SFO on UA.
