For those unaware, holiday travel is off to a pretty sucky start. Denver Int’l Airport closed yesterday and is still closed, due to ~2 feet of snow – Nick was due to fly home this morning and says that the earliest flight is Sunday, via SF. On the other side of the pond, dense fog has all three London airports running way behind (as well as Manchester and Cardiff), and all domestic flights to and from Heathrow are cancelled for today and tomorrow. ugh.
