@evan Best of luck!

After having one flight cancelled due to a winter storm hitting the eastern seaboard, I booked another. That one had a de-icing delay, then had three aborted landing attempts at Midway, which has a barely long enough runway that must be kept clear of all snow for big jets to land.

After the third aborted landing, which results in a very dramatic full-throttle blast off, we had to fly to Milwaukee, refuel, and then de-ice yet again before heading back to Midway where the snow had slowed enough for the plows to keep up.

I was so very grateful once in my cab, crossing Chicago and getting home with a quiet blanket of snow on the ground. Winter travel is still always an adventure.
