urocyonI'm just a little upset. Getting to the airport is already looking iffy, and snow is coming down harder all the time. No sleet or freezing rain so far *knock wood*, but the snowplow hasn't been around at all, either. (We're generally in decent shape for a residential area, since one of the neighborhood old ladies' sons works for the city--we might have to navigate one uncleared street to get to a more major road.) Wintry driving conditions don't usually bother me too much, even with all the idiots skidding around, but things are just not looking good today.
No word on the flights so far, of course. Roanoke airport's website is redirecting people to the airlines for flight information, which my mother is (wildly optimistically, I suspect) taking as a sign that they want to close the airport. Nobody's going to cancel this early, though. :/ This is the first time I have actually wanted anything to be cancelled--I'm beginning to feel like a particularly grouchy seven-year-old waiting for the school closings on the radio. It is somewhat promising that usairways.com is listing all of Virginia, along with Philadelphia, in a Weather Advisory. And after the crash in Charlotte last year, they're apparently pretty hesitant to take off in iffy weather.
There's no use worrying about this, I realise; either I can reasonably safely make it to Roanoke, or I can't. I may try setting off earlier than planned, before the weather has a chance to get even worse--if the flight is cancelled and I can't make it back to Radford, there's always Tim right there, with four-wheel-drive. (Families can be good at times. *eg*) I'd still be worrying, but very possibly agonizing less, if I'd actually purchased the ticket. Ah well.
