My sister and I are flying out of Raleigh Thursday morning around 8:55 if everything is running smoothly. I'm not sure how all of the flight delays and cancellations will from the past couple of days will affect air travel. I'm hoping that we're right on schedule, but as long as we get there it won't matter to me. The weather forecast for Raleigh looks good on Thurs. and it also looks good for the return flight out of Chicago on Sunday if nothing changes. Good luck with your flight out of PTI.
We're supposed to get a little snow later this afternoon, but I don't think it will really affect travel in the area. My only concern is if it freezes overnight.
My flight leaves at 6 am on Thursday morning and I should be landing around 8 am, less than 48 hours to go....whipeeeeeee. I am so excited.
Battlestations tonight!!!
@pinkaboo - it depends where you live in Wilmington, NC depends on what and how much you got. We live on the coast and have gotten almost nothing. If you go further inland, you are looking at about 3 inches of snow. The town above us got about 7 inches and the town below us got about 4 inches. They have closed the airport and all of the schools for two days because they do not have the equipment or the manpower to handle this much snow. I come from NJ and find it absolutely hysterical that the town is shut down with this much snow and my friends up north got 28 inches last week and it did not even phase them
@mossgirl4
If we get the I'm a sailor call you will hear 3 women screaming, My husband used to be a trucker, When are you leaving? Were either leaving tomorrow afternoon or around midnight on Wed am. See ya at the Ramada, Good luck and safe travels to EVERYONE!
@BobbieChris: You can definately get behind us! I'll clear a path - the truckers will be on their radios warning others to get out of the way and it will be clear sailing! You'll need to stay pretty far back, though, because if I get the "I'm a sailor" call on the road I'll be slamming on brakes! HA!
I'm so excited. I'm with Pink - the time is dragging!!!
@ pinkaboo Oh I guess I misunderstood about them posting results I thought they would post how each Div did.
I'm still trying to find warm clothes We have been in the lower 70's here in FL sometimes the 60's at night it get's into the 40's but were usually inside by then. We have even caught ourselves in shorts in the 50's. Nothing like snow though.
