as for the snow itself. since I was to Southern NJ and wouldnt/couldnt return before Sat night I took with me whatever I need clothes wise to last me till today.
Why cause at least WCBS radio was saying since Thurs that they werent sure where the storm will hit, if further out on Long Island then NYC was looking at 6' to 1 Foot , if it didnt go out so far East 1 Foot+ was expected.
2- The other question was when it would start and when it would end. It went from early Sat afternoon to start to Sat night but either way was gonna be over 12 hrs of snow falling.
So on Thurs we knew it was coming Only when and how much wasnt known. Even Fri they werent still able to pin it down. It wasnt till Sat itself that they knew we were gonna get HIT HARD and it was gonna start Sat night.
I spoke with my folks who were due back yesterday into EWR and told them, from the looks of things you wont be back on Sun. CO did NOT have up ANY Travel Advisory on their site on Fri at least at 3pm.
Im not saying JB wasnt at fault at ALL. But believe me CO was still listing my parents flight as "ON TIME" yesterday even 1 hr after it was suppose to have taken off, even w/o any aircraft in place and with EWR CLOSED to ALL incoming & OUTGOING flights. Why do that and have another few hundred people come to an airport that was already way overcrowded. Im sure people checked out of their Hotel Rooms after all CO says they are a go. Only to find out that the flight was cancelled and now someone else is in the room they left, so now they will have to find some wall space somewhere to spend the next 24-48 hrs.
Yours wasnt the ONLY Horry Story out there, but just as you swear NEVER to fly JB again, believe there are people swearing just the same about EVERY other Carrier out there. So someone will fly JB and not CO, and someone will fly CO and no longer JB. In the end the Carriers will have a no loss total.
