Hey Maris, We slept there in October on our way back from New Mexico. Missed our connecting flight due to severe weather. It wasn't that bad, really. There are two huge rooms full of cots and those little airline blankets and pillows. We got the sense this happens rather frequently...Here's a pic of the better-than-the cold-floor accomodations:

Somewhere in AK it's supposed to be -64° tonight. I didn't catch it in time to see where. Fairbanks is supposed to be -45°.

I'm so glad the deep negatives (-20°ish for about 2 weeks) are done here- it warmed up to about 50° for one day, melted the asnow- now it's snowing for maybe the third significant time this winter. A few inches yesterday, supposed to be about 6 inches today, then another 5 tonight. The plow already went through- I'm not looking forward to shoveling the thow they pushed up onto the driveway.

Dang, BR, that is sure better accommodations than the night I spent sleeping on a hot air vent in the window of the Newark airport during a snowstorm of the century.

My sons school just called. They got the kids on a flight from Houston to dallas at 12:30 pm today. Once they get to Dallas they will have to find a flight back to NY. It might tomorrow morning when the kids get home.

Woke up to find everything turned white overnight. We must have about five or six inches. It's windy as all get out, so there will be lots of drifting. Looks like we're snowbound in the farmhouse. Woohoo!

I know Ginger, I feel like Ed Harris in apollo 13 when he comments that the astronauts will not get caught up in a typhoon only if their luck changes. Who knows what is going to happen with two days of snow and rain forecast for here. I dont know if it is safer to put them on a plane or put them on a train. Between my experience with Jet Blue Last week and this, you can bet we will never travel in february again.

Fairbanks was -42° and the warmest temp mentioned on the weather. North Pole was -48°. The -64° was in Chicken, AK. Where the heck is Chicken, you might ask. I have no idea but at -64° who would want to go there so it doesn't matter.

It's not my thermometer. It's those silly meteorologists who are doing it to us. It has to be their fault.

We had rain overnight so it seems, but I do see some blue sky now, Costa. I know another storm is coming in but hopefully you can make it up and back before that happens! Have fun!

Thanks Sea. It's pouring here right now, but I dunno how long it'll last. And if I'll hit it as I travel north. I guess I better allow extra time today!
