First Snowstorm Of The Season

Storm

A "Textbook example" of a Nor'easter according to Mish Michaels of
Bostons Channel 4 (TWC'S Jim Cantore's other half). Fortunately
airports close under most severe weather circumstances for our
safety. On 10-31-91 at 9.00 PM we taxied back to the gate DCA
due to nasty winds (my call). American ran off of the runway behind
us. DCA was still open.

Have a great one!

As I sit here sipping my chai tea with rum watching the snow blowing
and falling I'm remembering a saying that I first heard during my
primary training:

"I'd rather be down here wishing I was up there than up there wishing I
was down here."
