Blizzard Over, Travel Snafus Not Over

Well, I am feeling so much better than last week, and the blizzard has ended in the Northeast, so I am looking forward to returning to work. (Well, "looking forward" may be a bit of an exaggeration.) However, even tomorrow I will not be returning to a full office. The blizzard has stranded many air travellers including several of the folks I work with.

Travellers were stranded across the north-east of the United States on Sunday as a fierce blizzard ranked among the five worst in a century closed airports and made roads treacherous. "Any travel in strongly discouraged," the National Weather Service warned Massachusetts residents. "If you leave the safety of being indoors, you are putting your life at risk."

Between the Christmas computer crash and this blizzard, business can NOT be going well for the big airlines. Here is hoping they can recover and there is not a third strike to seal the fate of some of the biggest and worst-run carriers.
