It looks like we got another inch or two of snow here. It's raining pretty good now, so it's all turned in to a slushy mess. :rolleyes:

I'm so done with Northeast winters.

At the risk of resurrecting a topic of conversation from a few days ago, winter around here isn't so bad, compared to the Rust Belt, upstate NY, or New England. Down here it's just been pouring since the middle of the night. Actually, I don't find winters around here so bad -- it doesn't snow much (though when it does people panic) and it rarely gets bitterly cold.

I like having distinct seasons, though having visited southern California and lived in SC, I can understand the appeal of mild/no winter.

No question, there are areas of the country that experience a much worse winter than NJ. I'm just the type that hates any temperature below about 65. :)

Ok - I freely admitted numerous times before that I ain't that bright. :D Can any of you mileage mavens highlight why AA might not still be the better deal (with the 100K min and 8 vips)? I would have started a thread but didn't feel like taking the abuse. ;)


I'm a nonhub-captive person and am struggling (sincerely! I miss CO) on why I should divert my (purely personal) travel funds back that way. If I'm going to be in it to win it (read: travel or MR up to 100K) then why might AA be a bad choice for me?

AA's 752 is apparently making a fuel stop on BRU-JFK today. That seems rather strange. There is no reason that route should be too far even with pretty significant headwinds.

So I've just found out that I have to go to Greenwood Mississississippi on the week of Christmas. Out on Monday, back on maybe Wednesday evening, definitely Thursday.

Greenwood is ~125mi from both MEM and JAN. Almost exactly half-way between the two. I've got FM lines to both places.

WWTBD?

ETA: FlightAware and AA.com both show AA171 flight direct to JFK with no stop.

I know, not even here and I'm already tired of it. :) I see there is more snow in the forecast for Sunday/Monday. My job search does include places outside of the area, so we will happily move for a job and for warmer weather.

Morning, Box. I survived.

Anyone know what that orange soupy stuff on the tray with the cheeseburger in F is? I didn't catch the description, but it was yummeh.

Oh, FYI: the parking coupon in CO magazine for same-day turns: Is Not Possible. They added a 3-day stay to the fine print.
