First time at the SAN Sky Club yesterday. Very nice!
Overheard announcement in SC that DL 403 SAN-JFK was now delayed until 8pm arriving in JFK at 4:01am. Ouch.

Amusing now, but wasn't at the time. Half hour late leaving Atlanta yesterday, but not directly the weather. Catering truck malfunctioned trying to load rear coach cabin supplies, blocking us in. Captain and crew wanted to waive the stuff for the 90 minute RSW run, but couldn't communicate directly to call it off.
First galley had ice, so a mimosa helped make up for the delay.

MAEN!
It was 17°F when I left the house today. At least we only got an inch or so of snow in the storm on Friday. I didn't even bother shoveling the driveway, but my sister (about 50 miles south) in the Salt Lake valley got knee deep snow.

It's bad at MSP today. It started snowing at the end of rush hour and isn't showing any signs of stopping. The forecast for the metro area is about eight inches, but I've seen predictions go up to fifteen.
At MSP, more than 350 flights have been cancelled. They're using the crosswind runways and must close one every half hour for the plows.Of delayed flights, the average delay is reported to be six hours.
To the south and west, travel isn't advised at all while evening rush hour is a total mess.
ADDED: My desktop internet connection doesn't like the blizzard either.
