Traveling through the snow.

The weatherman says that today is going to be snowy.  A blizzard warning starts at 1 pm this afternoon and goes until tomorrow morning.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  Am I happy for snow?  Maybe.  It will be pretty.  Am I happy for blizzard?  No.

Its amazing how quickly the seasons changed.  This past Thursday saw a high of 70 in New York.  I drove home through a snow storm.

For those of you who havent heard how I got home from New York, let me share with you.  I was supposed to fly from Neward to Milwaukee, then Milwaukee to Grand Rapids.  I knew better than to book the last flight of the night from Milwaukee to Grand Rapids, I really did.  But it was cheap so I did it anyways. 

Get to Newark, check in, check status of flight: DELAYED.  So I didnt get to Milwaukee until about an hour after my connection left.  And it was 11 pm local time.  Weighing the option of hotel & waiting for next flight & driving, driving won.  It was probably a little more expensive, but it got me home about 10 hours sooner.

I've always wanted to just rent a car and drive the remaining leg.  And now I have.  I see why I havent done that in the past.  Mainly it was the getting home at 5 am part.  Partially also due to hitting a snow storm (the first snow storm of the year).

And that is how I got home from New York last week.
