I just talked to the wife and she said it seems like things are nowhere near as bad as they predicted. Warning has been lifted. Roads are wet.
So i should be able to make it.
Now, Philly and New York are holding all traffic tothere now.

I’m not much of a sci-fi guy. More of a wi-fi guy. And a hi-fi guy.

It’s probably just normal delays. I was checking the faa site and it says incoming flights are being delayed in the ground before they leave.
I read that as weather related, but i guess it’s not.

To: SoothingDave
Rained a bit all day, no rain coat needed...then as dusk arrived it turned back to snow. Dreary, but not enough to shake things up this bad. Someone just doesn’t want us fat and happy for Thanksgiving. Good luck getting home.
