Surreal Weekend Experience


I flew home to Baldwinsville this weekend. It was a beautiful weekend; sunny all the time, which is uncharacteristic of Syracuse in February. On Sunday morning, I put the blinds up in the sun room to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine while I read.
The phone rang. At first I thought it would be for Matt, but decided to take a message. It was Jet Blue. They were calling to inform me my evening flight was canceled due to the snow storm. I'm north of Syracuse, looking out the window at a beautiful sunny day. Isn't this where I should have a problem with snow?
I ended up getting the early flight out the next day. Again, a beautiful sunny morning in Syracuse. We landed in fog and snow covered runways at JFK. Then the first normal event happened. My connecting flight was delayed one hour. Finally arriving in Charlotte, was awesome; the snow covered landscape with snow just hanging from the trees was amazing, but out of character for Charlotte.
So, after a beautiful sunny weekend in Syracuse, I arrive to Charlotte, North Carolina and have to brush the snow off my car!
