Jody made it out of Denver!

I just called Jody. He was sitting on the runway! He made his flight! He was so glad the snowplow came in the night. He borrowed his neighbor's shovel and dug his way out--twice! He had a 4-foot snowdrift against the garage door, and the snowplow had deposited another 4 feet of snow at the end of his driveway! But he got out and even went to work this morning for awhile before going to the airport! He said there are still a lot of people waiting. (Bet he got some dirty looks!) He was so glad he didn't have to spend Christmas alone!

Here's an article about the airport situation--

Denver-AP) December 22, 2006 - Airport officials believe it will take all weekend to untangle flight delays brought on by the usual seasonal crunch and the snowstorm that shut down Denver's airport.

It opened at midday, but many of the nearly 5,000 holiday travelers stranded there may not make it home for Christmas.

The jam in Denver backed up flights around the country heading into the one of the busiest travel times of the year. More than 3,000 incoming flights alone were canceled or diverted from Denver during the 45-hour shutdown.
