Uni Is Quite Quiet Today
Here we are the last full week of uni, and whether it be people's choice or more likely the wintery weather, the university is only running at half full today. Oh look at me, all optimistic and shit. I've heard rumours around campus that nearly 2,000 uni students from Grand Forks and Fargo are living in the Minneapolis airport for the next few days seeing that United and Northwest have cancelled all flights in and out of the two cities.
Although some of the reasons Northwest is giving for the cancelled flights is not very good. Non-weather related machanical issues are really starting to out-number weather related cancelled flights. Not good. Just a bit of information, when you fly Northwest, you really are taking a chance that the plane will basically fall out of the sky. Thats why I always will perfer the hour drive south to Fargo and hop on board the United shuttle, rather than any kind of NWA jet.
This really is a big winter storm for me. I am not use to the inches apon inches of snow and ice. An inch of snow will cancel schools in St. Louis for a few days. Here if you live in the country, no school, but if you live in the city, you better start walking bitch cause with that stiff northerly wind at 40 mph, you are going to have frost bite in 30 mins.
At this point in time... we have an inch of icey/ sleety rain on the ground with about 2 inches of snow... and its still coming down.

My mom was involved in a class action lawsuit against NWA. She was stuck on the plane with all the other passengers while the plane was waiting on the tarmac for a gate for 5 hours. There was no food, no water, no fresh air or air conditioning and they werent allowed to use the restrooms. Gotta love NWA.
