RE: Well No flying this weekend
Hopefully they can get back out of Philly! I remember being stranded in St Paul for over a week on a business trip one winter. The hotel grew pretty small the last couple of days.
As far as winter driving, Floridians can drive in snow pretty well. Our road conditions aren't what they would seem. The road gets very hot and when it first rains, it's just like ice with the slick surface. Also heavy rain floods the roads in this tropical environment. I'm sure all will be fine. Most cars have traction control these days too, anti-lock brakes, front wheel drive, etc.
