It has been over a week since I left Fargo to head back to DC, but I wanted to share two pictures from my flight. My flight was supposed to leave at 6 am CDT. When I woke up at 4 in order to get ready there was a blizzard taking place outside of my window. But the airlines had not delayed or canceled my flight. After driving in a white out to the airport, this is what I saw once I arrived at my gate:
And another look:
The sheer amount of snow on the ground was ridiculous. I thought there was no way I would be leaving Fargo that day, but sure enough we boarded on time. And after the plane’s path was plowed we backed up, were de-iced and took off about twenty minutes late. My plane took off even after I almost wasn’t able to get to the airport by car. I haven’t decided if that was a good thing or not that we took off in spite of the weather. But I guess I’m still around to write this, so I’ll lean toward good.
holy crap that's scary looking
The craziest part of that story is that you were only 20 minutes late taking off. Glad you made it back to DC in once piece.
