It has to be Friday, for us to get this storm, while my kids are supposed to fly in at 3:20, in the afternoon into Boston. They leave Texas at 8 am., and have a hour long layover/ connecting flight in Detroit, MI.....and it's gonna snow like hell in both places! I checked their flights today already, and they are still on time, but that is just for now, we'll see tomorrow. I wonder if they will just make them leave a bit earlier, I know, wishful thinking. I just want them to get here safe and sound. but it looks bad to fly for Friday. ;(

Oh no!!! I will keep my fingers crossed that the coast gets rain, it can happen in the boston/south shore area. My folks in Duxbury say 12 inches, but the weather morons have been wrong before!!!

wishing your kids safe travels!!!!!

Oh god Chel,

Is there anyway to call and see if they can get put on an earlier flight tomorrow?? would be the cost of a change in ticket.. I think $25/child.. or it might be $50.. but its worth getting them here in time. See if there is an earlier flight.. and inquire as to how many seats are left on it. Maybe put them on a plane tonight instead..

And told him what is going on, I know he will get on top of this, if he has not already started. I was thinking the same thing, either re-route them, or leave earlier, or some thing! This is nerve wracking, cause my ex is the only one who can make changes, for safety reasons"~waiting on the world to change~"

Chel - I agree with NS and FIM - try your best to get them switched to an earlier flight if possible. Logan is a nightmare during snowstorms. Here in the midwest we are supposed to get around 12 inches as well - it's starting tonight around 9 pm and going straight through til 3 tomorrow afternoon. Please keep us posted!!

I will keep my fingers crossed that the airline gods get the kids to you earlier.. That they ship them out tonight.

Not sure what we're getting yet in Northeast PA...
might be all snow, might be A MIX...either way, it's not gonna be pleasant.

On a BRIGHT note, it'll be 80 degrees in St. Pete Beach, FL...road trip, anybody?

When I was 20, I went with my best friend to pick up her boyfriend at Logan. We knew a huge snowstorm was coming but it was to start as we were on our way back. Well it started halfway through our ride there from Rhode Island. By the time we picked him up and started heading for home - the roads were horrendous and then to make matters worse, she took a wrong turn and we ended up in Weymouth. We had to find a motel to spend the night in and it was the seediest, scariest place I have ever stayed in....oh those wonderful New England winters - Wink

My ex called me back, and I told him what was going on, he says "what do you want me to do about it"? Real freaking nice! So looks like I will wait to see their flight get scrapped, and have to be in limbo till I hear otherwise. Why do I give this man any extra credit, I should know better by now. Very hateful thoughts towards him at this moment. And his lack of concern baffles me. When it does not directly affect him in a negative way, he could care less. UGH! Grrrr."~waiting on the world to change~"

do you think that he was just so oblivious to our weather up here that maybe he was caught off guard?? then realized after the call that.. Oh yeah.. I would want her to get them to me if the roles were reversed!

Possible he NEVER thought of checking the weather forecast.

Glad he is now on board w/getting the kids to you!!

Chel Bell's picture

that was just what I thought, that's why I called him. I figured he would not have known, just did not expect the additude. It is what it is though.....we are ex's, can't expect to get along ALL the time."~waiting on the world to change~"
