The original post was from someone on the flight who chose to remain on it. So-called experienced travelers should be able to take a weather disruption in stride particularly in the winter and when there are widespread transportation disruptions across a region. Sure, it's not fun but we've all done it. The flight was delayed just under 4 hours during a week when far greater disruptions were occurring. Hardly earth shattering.
