We will see, we are driving through all this stuff leaving later today. So I hope we make it!! I do know it's going to be rough getting there on all accounts, airports having been closed (not sure if they are open yet) are always fun!! And the roads from here to there aren't the best right now! On main interstate that we have to take has been shut down 4 or 5 times in the last 2 days for various accidents.

Good luck to all and safe travels.

Talked with Phil K last week, and he told me his flight leaves today. Hope he gets in all right...

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

My flight is still on as of today.

My understanding is that the storm is supposed to blow through today and the weekend should be clear, but cold.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Glenn Crabtree is at work at DFW; indicates some roving power outages on facebook, but open.

You guys have it easy; I am supposed to drive out tonight, driving thru the night from Atlanta, thru Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. It's all interstate, but the Oklahoma DOT isn't recommending travel yet.

There have been "selective blackouts" throughout North Texas today to conserve the power grid. Each blackout lasted around 15 minutes per zone. We went through four of them this morning. They ended around noon, but are expected to pick up again tonight as the power demand increases.

Made it!!!

Thanks to the generous (not) folks of Continental/United I was able to go standby on an earlier flight and made it to OKC. LOTS of snow on the ground but nothing falling. Hope everyone has a safe trip. See you soon.
