Default Bad Month for Flying

(AP) CHICAGO - Dense fog and a low cloud ceiling forced airlines to
cancel more than 200 flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport
on Friday at the start of the busy holiday travel season.

Travelers also encountered weather-related delays at airports in the
New York City area.
************************************************** ***********
We had seven long-term guests at the hotel (who all work for the same
company) trying to get home for Christmas yesterday. ALL of their
flights were cancelled.

Even though this article only talks about Chicago and New York, the
effect of this widespread fog has rippled throughout the national
airspace. The airline reps were telling our people that they were
still trying to move people out of airports for flights that were
cancelled on Thursday!

From a GA standpoint, I sure wouldn't want to own an FBO. NOTHING is
moving around here. (And now we've got a Winter Storm Warning for
tonight...)

Whoo-eee. I can hardly wait for winter.
