Blizzard Grounds Travelers in Colorado

Yahoo! News - Blizzard Grounds Travelers in Colorado

Oh, what memories...I can just imagine what the Denver airport looks like! And it will be two more days before air travel gets back to normal; whatever normal is these days!

I have only had to spend an un-anticipated 8 hours there, and since it is a hub, the normal activity in the airport is like this; every 15 minutes or so, the airport fills with people, talking, running and eating. Then after about another 15 or 20 minutes, the airport empties as people get on their connecting flights. All is quiet for for another quarter of an hour and then it starts all over again. But this time it was pandemonium for the whole night. I can tell you for a fact that there are not enough seats for even half the passengers that would like one. On a normal day, the waiting area looks like a yoga class in session as passengers grab a section of the floor for themselves. My favorite was the row along the people mover; although you couldn't hear any announcements, at least you had something to lean against.
