Jax Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hopefully the temps aren’t too cold and it will be a wet snow that melts quickly. This is so stressful; I hope you all get to Florida tomorrow. What’s up with this March weather; we are under a full winter storm/ snowfall warning here starting tomorrow with up to 20cm expected and lows of -22.

WannaCruise Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 P.S. - We are going with your way of having 1 luggage to check and then each having a carry on with the bulk of our stuff . The funny thing is, our checked luggage is 50% shoes! It's crazy but needed...sandals for the day, night sandals, beach flip flops, closed runners (for laser tag, zipline, and one of our excursion needs it). Not sure if you find the same?

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Travel day update: My parents and Sis/BIL/N11/N9 have made it to DTW. They texted about an hour ago and everything looks ok at the moment. My sister said that the gates and runways look clear. There are a total of 6 Delta direct flights from DTW-FLL today. The first two (7am and 10:30am) have departed without issue. My parents/sis are on 3rd flight and we are on the last one out tonight.

I keep watching your flights too (totally invested on hoping you guys make it out) and their flight will be fine. The plane you will be on is coming from Seattle today and should arrive in DTW after all the worst of the snow is due to end. I think you are good to go!

kadmgs Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Our district's rule is that you cannot take the day off before a holiday unless it is an emergency, but it's not really enforced. Granted, the baseball coaches and track coaches are out for a tournament/meet and the ag teachers are out for Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, but that's only about 10 people.
