On the other hand, I barely escaped Wisconsin this past Tuesday. I was
originally scheduled to fly out of there on Wednesday, but things started
getting, er, interesting, on Tuesday afternoon, so after my meetings and I'm
back at the hotel I log onto the computer and find UA has waived the usual
fees to change tickets into & out of the midwest... so it's off to Madison
airport, a day early, hoping to get a flight out. Yikes, it was like the
fall of Saigon!!! Flights getting cancelled all over the place, planes that
were supposed to arrive that simply disappear (obviously diverted
someplace... well, at least I hope so!) and, in the end, one lone flight
leaving for Denver that everybody wanted to get onto. It was one of the few
times my lowly 2P status on UA came in handy.
Wisconsin has had close to (or maybe it is) record snowfall so far this
winter. The news was carrying reports that they were running out of salt
(for the roads) so they were cutting it with sand.
