Good Morning! So far the Big Storm has been a Big Bust. Lots oif wind and
existing snow has all been blown somewhere else. I took the Trailways Bus
to downtown Salt Lake yesterday afternoon. It left at 3:30 pm and was
scheduled to arrive at the west gate of Temple Square at 6:45. The weather
over Malad Pass was windy with drifting snow. That changed to rain the
closer we got to the Salt Lake Valley. We were about 45 minutes late,
primarily due to traffic making its way around a small accident.

I stayed at the Hilton Hotel in downtown SLC last night and took the 6:30
am shuttle to the airport. I like this hotel and its location. It was windy
this morning with temperatures iin the low 40’s, meaning we won’t have to
de-ice before flying away.

I’m always surprised (but by now shouldn’t be) at how busy the SLC airport
is on weekends. Despite that, because I have Medallion Status, I was able
to move around the lines. So here I am, sitting on the airplane in my
(upgraded) 1st class seat waiting for everyone to board so we can button
up, light the fires, and make like a tree (and leave…).
