It has been cross posted to BA and VS, and should be appearing on the Travelbuzz directory thread as well.

I am in Calgary (YYC), not technically "stuck" yet as my flight is scheduled to LHR on Monday, but not likely to work on present forecasts!

In AMS with Mrs. Weezl, getting nervous about Monday's trip back to the US. Have a hotel thru Monday AM then wondering if we will be able to stay, or IF we should stay.

Driving to another airport that might be able to fly out is an option, but what a gamble! Which airport will be operational and which will have seats for us?

The worst part is not the lost work hours or the expense of the extra days abroad, but WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BABYSITTER CAN'T STAY ANY LONGER?

Big mess.

Good Luck everyone, we're all in this together.

Excellent! I have PM'd my mobile to those who've posted (up to this point, at least) that they're stuck in London...we'll likely meet this evening for a bite or a pint or both, or several, somewhere in central London.

I'm stuck in NBO. Keeping busy taking business trips to MBA and DAR, and will do more if I am here longer. At least I am in an inexpensive part of the world with great weather.

I'm not stranded unless Mr. Ash Cloud is still hanging around Thursday. Booked to fly VCE-CDG. If anyone is in the Veneto, please PM me.

From my thread in CBuzz..
The Redbeards are in BCN, scheduled to fly out tomorrow to LHR via MUC. That is looking shaky at best. We tried to get our rental car extended for a Calais or London return. Hertz wanted an extra £1000. The 30 hour ferry trips from Santander to Portsmouth are booked until Thursday.

My daughter's school is rumoured to be cancelled next week because so many students and teachers are out of the country for spring break.

The BCN website shows flights to AMS and BRU still as scheduled, with only LON and German airports confirmed cancelled. I'm tempted to head back to the US via Italy and stay at our house there for a week until this whole thing (pardon the pun) blows over.
