Okay, well I made it okay to LAX...snow and
sleet @ IAD according to my Dad(possibly right @the airport itself as the folks live
only about 10 minutes away) and the arrivals
board is none too comforting, listing flights
that were supposed to get in around 19:30 and
now listing them as pulling in ~ 23:30 or later.

Remind me to stay put or go to some place more sensible like Hawaii next year...The
last time I went anywhere to Xmas, I got
stuck in SEA for 2 days owing to a freak ice storm. This was on the middle of a holiday IAD->ORD->SEA->SFO->IAD tour to
see various friends and family.
Seattle is so unprepared to deal with even
the slightest amount of snow that my friends
couldn't even drive back to pick me up after
the airport closed.

Oh well....thanks for letting me spout off
here folks...it's a good time-killer.
