Anybody driven from the Peachtree City/Newnan area to the airport in the past couple of hours? How were the roads? Which way did you go? How long did it take compared to normal?

Most roads are still closed. Delta did fly an airplane to IIU last night to get people to hotel rooms.

I was curious to see if our DXB and JNB flights got out last night. They both departed, with only about 130 pax, but both pushed very late, and then they both taxied for about 1.5-2hrs before getting airborne. There couldn't have been that much traffic going out at 10-11pm, was there a lineup for the deice pad?
The DXB didn't get off the ground until 02:30! Yikes!

Wow...living in Minneapolis doesn't seem so bad today after reading about the mess in Atlanta in the past 24 hours. Glad I'm not flying this week. Stay safe out there.
BTW, I have a 4WD Ford F-150 and it does great in the snow. I've used it several times to pull people out who were stuck.

I had a buddy with a Jeep CJ5, he said in 2wd it was the worst, but in 4wd, it was the best on slippery roads.

Look on your rotation. It has a pay report time and a actual report time. If you show up in the lobby for P/U at a specified time I think that would be the actual report time.
If you are delayed three hours it would seem to me that your duty period clock would be ticking the whole time.

I've got one too, but in FL I rarely need the 4WD, only when in sand. Do you carry any extra weight in the back during the snowy months? My boys up in NH would steal those 6' cement parking space blockers and put about 3-4 in the bed for the winters, just for added traction.

The cities clean up the roads really fast up here since snow is so common, and people take their time when driving.
