Bad Month for Flying

(AP) CHICAGO - Dense fog and a low cloud ceiling forced airlines to
cancel more than 200 flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport
on Friday at the start of the busy holiday travel season.

Travelers also encountered weather-related delays at airports in the
New York City area.
************************************************** ***********
We had seven long-term guests at the hotel (who all work for the same
company) trying to get home for Christmas yesterday. ALL of their
flights were cancelled.

Even though this article only talks about Chicago and New York, the
effect of this widespread fog has rippled throughout the national
airspace. The airline reps were telling our people that they were
still trying to move people out of airports for flights that were
cancelled on Thursday!

From a GA standpoint, I sure wouldn't want to own an FBO. NOTHING is
moving around here. (And now we've got a Winter Storm Warning for
tonight...)

Whoo-eee. I can hardly wait for winter.

No it isn't. I've done plenty.

I'm surprised they didn't blame GA. :-(

Sounds like the skies of VATSIM will be busy tonight.

Winter started six hours ago.

I guess we need more global warming.

I guess we need more global warming.

If I could increase the ambient temperature of Iowa about 35 degrees
right now, I would burn every hydrocarbon in the state...

On the TV a minute ago, the crawl said McConnell AFB was closed, except fore
"war emergency."

Tomorrow it is supposed to get above freezing. Today, the wind and snow
reduced visibility to zero. I was out driving and at times, could not see
the hood of my car.

The Northeast is going to get it.

We got hit pretty good. 9 degrees, blizzard conditions here last
night. We could've sold twice as many suites, if only we had 'em.

This morning, blinding sunshine on white snow, high winds, lotsa
drifting. Been shoveling since 5 AM; lots more to go. Got a 100'
long, 3' deep drift in front of our hangar.

Welcome to winter!

Guess our winter starts earlier than yours, the Met. Office here defines
winter as December 1st to the end of Feb. So winter's already been going
a while here. Still hasn't got below freezing yet, and is about 10
celcius today (upper 40s F, I guess)... and we're further north than the
entire continental US :-)
