FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Wireless posts are hosed and have been for some time.

I'm (theoretically) heading to LAS today. I got pushed to the next flight out but I have no confidence that it will fly. PHL options are nil. And everything from IAH to LAS later today is full. I could probably make a noon-ish transcon out of JFK and then connect into LAS from that side of the world but I'm not sure if those flights are going.

Viz is pretty bad here and the plows are working full time but the snow continues to accumulate. Worst of all, the bartenders skipped work today. :mad: :mad:

You know enough to be a CO employee; hop behind that bar and get to work. ;)

Safe travels for everyone today, and our thoughts are with baglady and Plus1.

Streets are unplowed in the West Village. And there are very few people on the streets. The silence is eerie.

Good morning, Box.

Soo sorry to hear -- esp. on the bartender part!:( I'm so relieved that I made the decision I did -- regarding my AUS plans -- somehow I just had this feeling that all the 'hyped' predictions were not that far off!:eek:

Stay safe -- whatever you decide to do!^

If NYC schools are closed then the stock wxchang should be closed too :mad:

The biggest weather related closing was a half day back in the 80's or something like that.

Yes, sending lots of grace & strength -- knowing that the family situation that Plus1 & baglady are dealing with is really difficult.:(

Sorry, Mackieman -- we're all bailing on you & the others!:( But I know that you can uphold the B:rolleyes:X presence there!;):D

I have multiple reservations at The Palm and M&S, so I'm not sure of the probability.

When I say MDW, I mean the airport. The city will always be Chicago for me. ;) Potbelly Sandwich Works has a location at MDW.

You said it!:rolleyes: Not sure if rolov will make it any time soon -- I think he was supposed to be on the early flt to AUS that I was scheduled for -- it looks like EWR is closed until at least 2pm (according to CO)!:eek:

You'll all get to finally meet cheepneezy, too!^

Here's my snow drifting in the back yard.

I took that photo about an hour and a half ago. It's much worse now. If you look at the photo you'll notice barely any snow by the tree trunk.

Trust the kiosks. Different computer system. Some monitors at EWR said my flight the other week was cancelled and we pushed back 10 mintues late only because Chelsea was told we were cancelled so we had to wait for them. Gate display had was not even correct and was assigned to a DFW flight.
