this just in - just drizzle here in the paradise we call richmond :roll: expecting a couple more inches of rain by sunday and i am still just sitting on my a$$ as i was doing when the day started.

Trees have ice on them over here in Tarrant County, Miss Kitty. That's all for now.

My sister is in Tarrant County. Nephew was supposed to have b-day party tomorrow, but they had to cancel it. I guess you wont see any ice relief until tomorrow night, then I hear it is supposed to get above freezing.
Guess everyone is buckled down out there. I heard the stores were a madhouse.

And now, back to weather! This just in... MS and his group are stuck in Salt Lake City. They have canceled over 300 flights in and out of DFW. They may not get back here until 9 pm tomorrow.

P.S. Don't tell Molly.

We still have not had anything frozen around here.

I was afraid of that. Mr. Pod said American was already this afternoon offering people with St. Louis tickets rebooking with no change fees, so I know they're anticipating more of the same. I told him about MS, and he said--St. Louis nothing, he'll probably never get out of Dallas!

It was a balmy 70 here today, and tomorrow the high is 71. VERY warm for this time of year here. However, next week the highs are going to be in the 50s and lows in the 20s. I guess we have to take the good with the bad. Everyone stay safe out there. Here is wishing for warmer weather for everyone soon!!

Mr. Pod is a smart one. Our airport is not equipped for this...it's the deicing that causes the backups. MS is supposed to leave DFW on Monday at 1:50 pm. Question is...will he ever make it here from SLC????

I miss MS.

Hope you guys stay warm, Pea to Z Pod! You can always come down to SoWal, where the temps will be around 75F degrees today.

Mr. Pod called this morning, his flight from Atlanta to St. Louis is cancelled. Poor Kitty, this weather sure messed up your quality time.

It's above freezing today, so now ice is melting here.
You two are bad influences.

wtf is going on with the airlines? Our group is stuck in STC and there is nothing much in the way of weather here right now. Delta is diverting its DFW flights to Houston. We are trying to get the parents to fly to Houston right now, rather than wait to see if the 5 pm flight actually takes off.

Pea...I have been trying to get info on Lambert. What is the status?

From what I understand, it's the typcial snowball effect (no pun intended) right now because of yesterday's delays in several airports, such as DFW and STL. The weather here isn't bad, either, but they've had to reroute so many travelers that they're cancelling flights for today, I think. It's easier to use the websites of the individual carriers rather than the airport website. I did just go to the Lambert site and looked at the listings of arrivals and departures, I'm guessing it's fairly up to date. Mr. Pod was given the option of flying out today--Atlanta to Chicago to St. Louis, but he says he doesn't know how things are at O'Hare, so it might be a risk.

Good summary. A Delta flight has left SLC, but may be diverted to Houston. The dad is a heart surgeon and was trying to get on it because of a surgery tomorrow. They are booked on an afternoon flight which arrives here at 9 pm...when it is supposed to get ugly (according to the weatherfreakcasters)...we have missed ugly three times already. :roll:

Hope Mr. Pod gets home sooner rather than later.

Things at O'hare are fine now, but looks like our weather is going to get worse as the days wears on.

Don't ya know we wish we were there?!

Dreary here, but not raining anymore. I don't think we're going to get "it" like "they" are saying.

Either way, we've finished painting the inside of the house last night so now we don't have to spend the MLK holiday doing it. Rain or shine, sleet, ice, or snow, I'm sleeping in!

We just came in from shopping in St. Louis, and the dreariness is pouring rain there. If this continues, and it gets as cold as they're saying, bad news.
Mr. Pod is spending his unexpected extra day in Atlanta at the aquarium.

:clap_1: ...MS and his group have boarded and are on their way home! 24 hours late. Next, we'll see what tomorrow brings and if we can get them off to Mizzou.

Hooray and good luck!

Okay...the freezing stuff finally has started here. The plane has landed and now the dear father is out there picking up the group and delivering them home.

Now I have to worry about the trees.

My bamboo is down to the ground. And my feet are cold!!
Glad they landed safely!

Hope you guys stay warm, Pea to Z Pod! You can always come down to SoWal, where the temps will be around 75F degrees today.

Ditto on that. Stay warm guys and dream beach dreams

Covered in a small amount of ice. Molly just skated across the deck.
