Carriers cancel en masse

Runways at Denver International Airport were shut down late Wednesday afternoon. Before that, more than 800 flights had been canceled.
United Airlines, the busiest carrier at Denver International Airport, canceled more than 630 flights for the rest of Wednesday, and Frontier Airlines planned to cancel up to 40 afternoon flights, representatives said.

Stranded travelers sprawled on benches and floors at the airport, or stood in long lines at ticket counters trying to make new reservations.

“I’m trying to book another flight, but I’ll probably be spending the night at the airport,” said Michael Heitc, 54, of Denver, who was trying to get to Oregon to visit relatives for the holidays.

All I can say is ... OUCH. Not a good travel day...flights have already been cancelled for tomorrow.

Christmas is Cancelled!

Yeah, my sister said the FedEx guy said they would not be picking up until Friday. Guess that means Christmas is cancelled.

For those of you in the Denver area, does the mailman really deliver the mail with this kind of weather?

Ha! Lived in a suburb of MSP in '91 during the great Halloween snowstorm (31" in a day). We didn't get mail for 4 days...but the Domino's Pizza kid delivered the next night.
