I landed just before noon local time and was welcomed to a very BEAUTIFUL and SUNNY Seattle!
It was quite amazing, impressive and that just made my day. When I went down to claim my lost luggage, it was there! My bags were there!! Of course, not everything was perfect. I discovered a few new holes and missing parts to my suitcase and my locks were cleanly cut off (yes, TSA approved locks). Oh well, getting back to a sunny, blue sky, Seattle REALLY made my day.
Back to flight woes, found out why there was a whackload of cancellations: Plane “crash” at the airport I flew out of. I took off just before that plane. The freezing rain really took its toll and the plane just couldn’t stop on the runway. So, the plane was parked on a snowbank. No injuries, just one less of a plane to fly. My flight got re-routed after take off because our landing gear was frozen. That was fun. I did not find out till after the flight landed. Apparently, they were expecting a worse landing.
