We can top that, Doug . . . severe clear and 76 degrees today in Chatsworth, headed to 83 by Sunday. Kent, thanks for the gory details. Seeing today's news stories of massive highway pile-ups in the Northeast, I am doubly grateful that everyone made it home safely. Take care, all. 73, Marty N6VI -----Original Message----- From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Doug Rehman Sent: Monday, January 19, 2015 12:39 PM To: 'Kent Olson'; 'David Woolweaver' Cc: 'ARRL ODV' Subject: [arrl-odv:23820] Re: Travel Would this be an appropriate time to propose Orlando for the January 2016 Board Meeting? :-) I arrived home to 70 degrees, partly sunny, and a light breeze. 73, Doug K4AC -----Original Message----- From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Kent Olson Sent: Monday, January 19, 2015 3:30 PM To: David Woolweaver Cc: ARRL ODV Subject: [arrl-odv:23818] Re: Travel Yes Sunday was one to remember.......... I was probably one of the lucky ones who actually made it home via the airlines yesterday - even though they tried to strand me somewhere. Jim Fenstermaker, Tom Delaney, and I were on Delta 797, which due to icy conditions, took a detour off the taxiway. As a pilot, let me assure you that this is not an approved thing to do unless you happen to be in a bush plane. The pilot did his best not to slip off the taxiway, but we ended with our nose wheel about ten feet into the grass. After about an hour and a half (or maybe more - I lost track of time with all the excitement), they managed to get a tug to push us back on the taxiway. In the meantime, Bradley was shutdown due to moderate icing (very bad in pilot speak). We got towed back to the terminal where a cast of thousands (weary travelers) were trying to figure out what to do. There were a lot of the Board Family who were amongst the masses feverishly using their smartphones to get out of town. The airport opened about an hour later and the rush was on to get de-iced and "out of Dodge". I consider myself lucky, as I got to Minneapolis where a cold beer and hamburger was waiting for me while I watched the Packers give up their chance to go the the Super Bowl. Five hours later, I boarded an uneventful flight to Fargo. I know there were others stranded in various airports around the country, and hope all made it home safely. 73!
