Temps here are struggling to get out of the 30's during the day. Snow storm with more than 12 inches and high winds for tomorrow!! YUCKK!!!! Youngest son is supposed to fly into Philly tomorrow, that aint happening. trying to get his flight bumped up for today. Airline says philly is not in the danger zone for the storm. Well its the only one in the arear that isn't! HELLO check the weather forecast US Air!! They want an additnal 300.00 for him to change his ticket from tomorrow to today!! Along with health care the airlines industry needs an emema as well! unbelievable.

Yea, changing a flight is worse than just buying a new ticket.

I had that happen last year. Rather than cancel a reservation, it was cheaper to keep the reservation and not show up and buy a new ticket.

Yep....looking pretty bleek here for York, PA also. I was gonna' try to get out this weekend but that ain't happening. My mother-in-law was supposed to come down from Renovo, PA tomorrow and stay for Christmas this year because my twins are 1 this year...looks like that won't happen either. Oh well, I'll stop and get a case of beer tonight, fire up the snow blower and just sit and wait.

12" that's just right for floats. We've not had any real bad weather yet. Just cold. Be nice to have the son home for Christmas. I hope it is a very good one for you. What about the other son. Will he be home for Christmas also? You have a great Holiday.

Geeze you guys, hope Santa will be able to get through. If not, he can just drop your stuff here. I'll have plenty of cookies and milk for him.

Yeah both boys will be home, oldest is already home. Should be good as long as we can get the youngest home.

Bill,


Yep, snowing here as we type. My daughters driving up
from Fla. today. She's never driven in the snow, not good.

Hope your Son gets there on time and safe,

Bob

Man, just down the road from you. if you need help with the beer, let me know

Yeah, I hear ya, Bill. We here in Atlantic County, NJ woke up this morning to the snow threat for tomorrow, up to a foot or more along the coast. Jeech.. just what I needed to hear.

As far as the airlines is concerned, it's not just US Airways, it's all of them. They started charging for water last year, but the uproar from their frequent flyers forced them to change that atitude. Now, we can at least get water and soft drinks. I flew to Munich two weeks ago, I was in coach. When they served dinner, such as it was, there was a little foil wrapper that had butter in it. Well, they nuked the dinner to warm it up, but never took the butter off the tray. So, when I opened it, I got butter all over my shirt. Ah, so much for good service.

Hope your son makes it home on time and ok. Please thank them (and thank YOU, by the way) from all of us for their dedication and contribution to our freedom.

CGr.

Hopefully by hte time your daughter gets there, they'll have the roads cleared!! ooops. that's right NC doesn't have plows, at least not in the east. Hopw she gets home safely!

Thanks Brother

We have plows here in the mountains

This is the first year in 20 that I don't have a 4WD.
Hope to make a beer run today, just in case.

Bob

Yeah I grew up in West Jefferson, I remember the plows and the snow! Might have to stock on some preferred beverage on the way home myself.

It's not just you folks in the Northeast. Atlanta has highs of around 40, lows below freezingand rain/sleet/snow forecast for the next few days with fairly high winds. 3 new planes all set to go and no weather to fly them in......

I think we should all head for Gray Beards house for Christmas, New years and leave to go home just after Easter!

Hey Bill
What time does the bus leave?

I don't consider it a good day unless I get some butter on my shirt at some point

I used to get butter on my shirt all the time after chowing down on lobster! two years ago had snow crab and woke up the next morning with my face looking like a chow puppy! Doc didn't test me, but said it was and allergic reaction to shell fish. Anyway been planning to get the actual test to prove him out. If it comes back negative, i will have butter everywhere and there wont be a lobster left anywhere!

Sound Good, when we leaving ?

Bob

There is a God, Airline got Matt a flight out today. Philly has been added to the danger zone list for the storm. So he now has a direct flight into Philly and will be on the ground at 19:30 (7:30 PM for you civilian folk) today!! No extra charge!

SemperFi

Zero dark thirty sounds good to me. I can bring the toy hauler, should be able to fit everyones planes in. Maybe we should let Gray Beard know we're coming for an extended stay? NAH!! we can just surprize him!!

Awesome! But, you know what's going to happen? It will work out like it always does here on south Eastern PA; they call for tons of snow and we get nothing. They call for a light dusting and we get a foot!!!!

Reminds me of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

As a person who travels often for work, I am all too familiar with winter travel. It is unpredictable at best. I cannot blame the airlines.

On the other hand, snow storms make for good snowmobiling. I am a 4 seasons kinda guy...no ifs ands or buts about it. No complaints from me...be it snow, -15, or 90% humidity and 95.

That's great Bill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh and 0 dark 30 it is,

Bob

And for you Marines, the big hand is on the 6...

Then where would the little hand be!!!??? I'm so confused!! [8D][8D]
