Anyone want to help keep me awake?
Stuck in the Atlanta airport overnight. Stupid Texas weather. Lived there since 1989 & never had a white Christmas. NOW it snows!

1. My dear Haole Girl...
I'm wondering why you don't get a hotel room...

Or is your standby flight too early?

Snow in Texas! Well, at least it'll be hopefully pretty when you do get home!

:hug:

4. Our flight is pretty early
And, it seemed stupid to get a room for just 6 hrs. However, I'm rethinking that decision now that the airport concourses are getting colder & colder!!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you're having a nice Christmas Eve. :hi:

2. Where in Texas.
All we have here is cold weather and a lot of wind.

5. North Texas
Actually, what threw off our flights, all day, was bad weather in several places throughout the day.

49. It snowed in 1985
That was the last real snow. In San Antonio there was snow everywhere. Enough to actually build snowmen and have snowball fights and crap like that.

It hasnt snowed like that since.

51. ** Update **
I think we'll make it out of this airport this morning. But I won't breathe a sigh of relief until the wheels are up!

Thank you, very much, those who helped me get through a rather unusual Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas morning!! :hi:

53. it's supposed to be above freezing in a couple of hours, but
it didn't rain or snow overnight, at least. It is still very very icy out, though.
Should melt soon.


We have to drive 50 miles from Tarrant to Dallas county this morning. Should be an interesting drive.

Good luck getting to your destination! Merry Christmas! :hi:
