Getting a little worried about the Thanksgiving trip

[dreamshark]

R and I are supposed to be flying to California tomorrow for Thanksgiving with darling daughter, but the weather is worrisome. Given the choice between cold, blowing snow and more freezing rain, I guess I'm for the snow.  Neither one seems like a copacetic situation for airplane flight, however. 

Heck, I'm starting to get worried about getting home from work.  Almost everybody has left, but I'm trying to finish up a few more things before the long weekend.

Is it sleeting yet out there??

There's deicing equipment that is going to take care of your sleet issues. No worries!

Thanks for the reassurance!
I did make it home - and it wasn't even terribly slippery. Of course tomorrow when the temperature plummets may be a different story.

My plane took an extra 40 minutes for deicing, plus 25 minutes in holding pattern over Chicago, but everything went smoothly.

My plane today's on time, so far.

Tomorrow looks okay, quite cold but just flurries.

It seems to mostly be snowing, very locally. The forecast still firmly says "light snow mist" under current conditions and "Ice pellets" for forecast, but I haven't really seen ice pellets. And I had to take my cat out on a leaSh about half an hour ago; he insisted. It was snowing then. But highways may be a different matter.

We're having record lows to greet you with -- brr! It's all relative, of course, but we went out and strung xmas lights on our blood orange, just in case.
