Hey folks. Curious if anyone is flying down from Newark on Thursday. If so, are you freaking out about the weather as I am? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />

If you are able, fly out Wednesday. I'm sure all the airlines will allow free changes due to the weather.

My rebooked flight to Philly tomorrow is now cancelled. Flight from Philly is definitely in jeopardy. Im driving to Philly and hoping for the best. We should have drove last night as our original flight from Philly took off on time. If we don't get out tomorrow, we might not get out until Monday! Fingers are crossed.

I'm on the phone with United now. They canceled my flight out of national tonight to Newark, but the Newark flight tomorrow is still fine. So instead of putting me on an earlier flight out, they just canceled everything and bumped me a day. Uh, NO.
Stressful. Also, it's only supposed to be raining tonight, so not sure why they did anything with that flight.

Am at Newark now. After much back and forth they put me on the earlier flight out of National. Which was of course delayed. As of now the flight is on time, but the snow is starting to really come down. So fingers crossed!!
Good luck to my fellow travelers today.

Just a horrible bad weather day- a Delta flight coming in to LGA from Atlanta just slid off the runway! Thank God - no one was injured.

Yes, Delta at LGA skidded off the runway, hit a fence and lost a wing. 135 passengers on board.
Horrible.

Yes, mostly minor injuries. But that would have made me wet my pants for sure. Yikes! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Hi everyone!! I am here, chilling with the parentals. Kudos to our pilots for a smooth takeoff right after they finished de icing our plane. Had a hard landing at SXM, but who care, we were here. The flight attendant got on the intercom and said "it wasn't me" which received a plane full of laughs. I really cried when we stepped out of the airport. This winter has just been the worst (not as bad as boston, but awful) and I so needed to be here and have my moms johnnycakes. Oh, it's also hella windy here. Like, Christmas wind windy. I don't care, I love it! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

After driving to Philly, we did get out and in a little late, had to de-ice. All is well now!
