Well, we are due to depart Thursday at 10am out of Philly and now am wondering if it will happen given the impending "blizzard". They are even going as far as saying it'll be a Snowicane (that's a new one). I'm praying it doesn't get bad until after we leave but as time goes by I'm starting to get more and more nervous. Please say a prayer that we get out of PHilly!!!

Is there any chance you can get an earlier flight? Sending good thoughts!

Why don't you see if can get out earlier, even tonight? The airlines might be very accomodating, rather than have to deal with trying to get you out on Thurs. Then stay over night in STT.
Thats if you can swing the extra day off & the extra $ for hotel in STT.
Be alot better than losing a day on STJ..
GOOD LUCK !!
We've been in your shoes so know how you feel.....

Kris - I with you on the weather. We are suppose to leave Friday to spend the night at the airport. I foresee a backing up of flights and experiencing a transportation nightmare.

Trust me! Our weather prayers are with you!!!
In fact, I almost wrote an identical post here yesterday but it turns out that we are getting rain and not snow! Although parts of MA are getting snow it looks like it'll be rain on the coast and at Logan Airport. We fly out tomorrow morning. It is raining here now and the winds are mighty strong.
Sending positive energy your way for a timely escape and safe travels.
Will you be at the Beach Bar Sunday night? We will. Maybe we'll catch up with each other then.
PA Girl, same positive energy coming your way as well!!

Thanks for the vibes!
I would like to come to the BB but, as I told Kris, I don't know if I want to deal with the kiddo playing in the sand/water before dinner. Maybe I can convince the boys to find another activity (isn't there ice cream nearby) while I hit the bar.

We're supposed to leave Saturday. May the snow be done and plowed by then.

Good luck to all those that have to deal with traveling in this weather.
I agree, I'd contact the airlines now and try to get out faster.
If anyone will be traveling down the blue route (476) to get to the airport, I just wanted you to know that they closed it during the last storm, so take 76 instead.
Again, good luck!

A court date is preventing us from leaving early so I am devoting my day to alternative routes. My desk is covered in flight schedules.

PAGIrl, fingers crossed!! Are you supposed to leave Fri or Sat?
Well, we just rebooked out of BWI in hopes that it won't be as windy there. I'm more concerned about wind than snow, kwim?
Positive thoughts!!
And yes, we will most likely be at the BB on Sunday, God wiling! Hope to see you (darkanddiet and pagirl)both there!

We'll just miss the BB gathering

we'll be getting in late Sunday and will be staying the nite in STT. Maybe we can meet up later at a beach.
