Snow Patrol

I made it to Platte City, Missouri safely, but it took me awhile with the snow storm. I am glad I left work early because I did not get to my motel until 6:30. The weather was the worst around Topeka and Lawrence. Cars were in the ditches but since I had a room reserved in Missouri I decided to keep going until I made it. At times I was only going 30 miles an hour, but there was enough traffic on the road that a path was kept open. I took the Turnpike thinking it would be clearer.

The snow delayed my 9:14 a.m. flight out of Kansas City two hours so, Northwest moved me to standby on two American Airlines flights. I was able to make both flights and got into the Springs at 3:00 p.m. with a connection through Dallas. If I had not made the standby flights I would of gotten in at 8:30 p.m. That is a lot of time to spend in airports. The staff from Ottawa Public Library did not get into the Springs until midnight central time. I was lucky.
