Confirmed that it's miserable here in YYC this morning. So far the airport seems to be functioning not too badly, but the snow is supposed to keep piling up through the day, so it will likely get worse and worse.
Good time to be off to BOG!

Enjoy BOG (I call it the city of car alarms)--glad I am not flying until tomorrow when everything "clears up". Off to much less warm climes and maybe extended snow--Grande Prairie and High Level!

What exactly is happening here?
AC722
YYZ -> LGA
Depart: 18:15 (on time)
Arrive: 21:44 (delayed)
3 hours and 29 minutes!!! (versus 1 hour 35 minutes normally)
Are they really going to pack us all into the plane and circle around for 2 extra hours?

You likely have a specific wheels-up time around 20:10 that's provided by ATC.

That's nothing. My record was 12 hours on the airport terminal's cold linoleum floor. I'm sure my record is nothing compared to others! And yes, this was with AC.
