The curling match was quite a good one.

But I have to ask, what the hell is with those pants?

Was it wrong? Absolutely. Was it irresponsible? Absolutely. Was it unsafe?

I found it amusing they were flying to ZUUU

Providence at work again...

In a completely unrelated comment....several major hubs operations have been completely shutdown on a preemptive basis both today AND tomorrow by a number of airlines. While selectivley cancelling flights is always common in snowstorms, I've never seen it done on this type of level for a relatively...

The explanation is here in the thread, must read between the lines.

But I've seen how Texans drive in the snow.

They just don't understand winter.
