I iz stuck

...in Seattle. I'm here on business just in time for one of the biggest snowstorms in years. I was supposed to fly to another part of Washington this morning, but we cancelled that portion because that office shut down due to the weather. Instead, I was supposed to fly home this morning, but all runways at the airport are closed and my flight is cancelled.

Fortunately, I hadn't checked out of the hotel yet. Now I'm waiting on hold (for a loooong time) to try to rebook. But with this many cancelled flights, I think I'm in trouble.

I had a rental car, too, but they said the roads would be ice this morning, so I convinced the company to let me return it downtown instead of at the airport. So I drove super slowly in the snow to the rental office (involving one scary steep hill), and found the office was closed. I couldn't even make it up to the garage because of the snow on the ramp. So I parked next to the office and put the keys in the drop box for whenever they come back.  =)

  • OH NO! My BF just said to me this morning as we were watching the news/forecast, that this is one of those Seattle winters you are glad not to be there for (he's from there).

    Hopefully you get out of there soon! 
  • I would never have thought of that, Tarra! Actually, if I get stuck here, I can take the bus to the other side of town to my grandma's house (I went over for dinner Tuesday night). I just usually stay closer to the office because it's convenient.

    If I have to be stuck, it's good to be in a city I know.

    On hold for 27 minutes and counting! It's not a big deal if I have to stay til tomorrow, I just need to be home by Saturday. My company party is Saturday night.
  • Ugh for being stuck! I say if the buses are running, go see grandma again!

     

  • Woot! I'm booked on the 7:40pm flight tonight. Hopefully the runways open up this afternoon.

    The hotel did say I can only stay until 1:30, so I guess I'm camping out at the office this afternoon.
  • I hope the runways are cleared for your flight1  Come back to Cali Leia!

    Congratulations on gettnig a flight out; I hope it all goes ok.  My company's Seattle office is shut down, and most of the group is worrying about power outages.  When I talked to one coworker this morning, it sounded like it was a very similar situation as that which happened here in Indianapolis last year with the ice storm (which was also snow and then a bunch of ice).
  • yaay on getting out, I have heard it is a mess up there!

  • Meh. Flight is delayed to 9:30pm, and it's now the only flight to San Jose today. All the others were cancelled.
