I’m at Logan Airport in Boston, waiting for a flight to Chicago San Diego and then to California San Francisco. My original schedule was to head back tomorrow, but the whopper storm approaching here is expected to dump a foot or two of snow amid high winds (can you say 8-foot snowdrifts?).

The airline suggested getting out while the getting was good.

This is the kind of advice I tend to take.

UPDATE: Still on the ground, 3 hours after my original departure time. Half the flights in and out are canceled at this point. I have a sneaking suspicion I’ll be checking back into the hotel in Cambridge this evening…

It’s amazing to hear some passengers complaining about these problems. Like the airline people can do something about the weather…sheesh.
