United issued a (un)useful travel advisory.

Anyone in the mood for a BUMP run tomorrow?

Wow, that's pretty impressively unhelpful, even by UA standards. Reminds me of living in England, when the train companies would cancel your train then advise you to "seek other methods of transportation to your destination".

UA appears to be ferrying planes to/from LAS. Check 9796 for a rar! 320 LAS-DEN on Thursday afternoon. Check 9797 for a 757 LAX-LAS on Thursday night.

Are they rescuing people from Las Vegas?

Heh. Reminds me of a comment on one of the news stories linked above: "It's true, Hell has frozen over."

Snowing now. Quite a bit. Actually sticking.

One TV news report says 6 to 9 inches.... wonder where that is... got at least an inch here in the north side of town.
Southwest here, maybe 1/2" on the ground.

No snow by me just wintery mix on the ground.

Lots of snow here. I am near the airport. Prob at least 4-5 inches at the height of the snowing. About 2-3 inches still left after raining for the last 3 hours or so.

Headed to CRF then LAS 3 hours before my flight. This looks like it will be a mess. US canceled another PHX flight and routed me nonstop to LAX on a 321.

If folks would like to discuss global warming, let me direct you to OMNI :)

I remember many many years ago up at the Stratosphere tower it was snowing at that level but never made it solid all the way to the ground so the snow never reached all the way to the bottom.
