Snow?!?!?

By Chris

On the road Monday and Tuesday only this week. But it's a doozy. I'm in Morgantown, WV now, after flying to Pittsburg and making the 1 hour drive over. And, despite the Weather Channel maps showing it clear, it snowed the whole drive. And it's still coming down. Not a big deal to people here I'm sure . . . but for me? This would close us down at home. And, I've gotta make it back to Pitt. tonight to get down to Atlanta. Hope it stops soon. Ironically, they gave me a convertable to drive! Oh . . . and it is REALLLLYYY cold and windy. Sounds like the ragtop is going to blow off speeding down I-79 (where the speed limit is 70 mph!!! That's great. Why don't more states do this??).

In a funny commentary about the non-sense way that air travel is sold, check out this itenary that was the only reasonable way to make this trip:

Mondy Morning - Newport News to Atlanta - stay 30 mins., change planes - Atlanta back up to Pittsburg - drive to Morgantown(only 2 planes a day actually come here) - Monday Night - Drive to Pitt. - fly to Atlanta - Tuesday Evening - fly Atlanta to Newport News. Lots of more direct ways to this . . . but none that are cheap. Certainly it's not actually cheaper in fuel etc. to do it this way, but that's the way the airlines work, for some reason. Also, to do the same from Norfolk (just 35 miles from Newport News), is about double. Go figure.
