Safe travels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1296024 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 19:36:05 +0000 Beebug 1296024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: Safe travels tomorrow, we haven't been cancelled yet, but things aren't looking too promising. AC cancelled the sametime flight to Halifax, where they are calling for worse weather than here, so we aren't too optimistic at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290621 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 08:47:58 +0000 Beebug 1290621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: Our flight is at 7:15, but WestJet, so different terminal (I think?) otherwise a potential run-in could have been cool :) Safe travels!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290604 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 08:42:13 +0000 tinyperson 1290604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: yeah, given the new forecast, you should be fine...and leaving earlier in the day should help too! have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290511 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 07:41:01 +0000 woodentulip 1290511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just checked the weather again...now it appears to be expected to come mostly as rain! Ahhh....Ontario winters and all the slush they bring...we're sticking to Sunday...and we shall see how it goes! </p> <p>@Beebug: Maybe we will see you at the airport! We are supposed to leave first thing at 8:00 am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290196 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:58:49 +0000 Beebug 1290196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looked at weather network, and it looks like Fri and Sat are going to be the worst for accumulation. We fly first thing Sunday, so can only hope the clean up is done, risk we'll take I guess, oye! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290188 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:51:19 +0000 Rockies11 1290188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're flying Calgary to Toronto on Sunday! I would keep the flight booked because the snow delays tend to happen more on the front end of the storm than the tail end, but I hate change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290184 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:49:02 +0000 Beebug 1290184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: we are flying out of Toronto Sunday too, apparently I need to check the weather, I had no idea, eeeep! We are flying to NS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290176 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:44:37 +0000 tinyperson 1290176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mondays looking decent, so I'd say change your flight...you don't want to deal with the airline day of. We're driving out of Toronto for the holidays and we decided to leave tomorrow afternoon to avoid it! We used to fly to Calgary at Christmas, but my parents just moved back to Ontario...have fun in the mountains. I miss them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290171 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:42:18 +0000 shopaholic 1290171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: Yikes! Hoping for your sake the storm is delayed. DH would suggest that mom &amp; baby go earlier to avoid the storm and he'd go after work. Is that something you'd consider? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290162 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:37:31 +0000 MrsScottish 1290162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a bunch but not as much as some years. We got 10-14 cm just last week. The city is still plowing out of that. </p> <p>This is our front yard. If I stood in the snow bank it would be above my knee! </p> [attach=3279/13/my15ul.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290147 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:23:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 1290147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScottish: Yes-- I'd rather have a confirmed seat than risk stand by by waiting, especially this close to Christmas with giant storms coming. (This is coming from someone who was delayed 5 days getting home from Christmas one year, and even that took a lot of finagling and cancelling and booking new flights.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290145 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:23:53 +0000 woodentulip 1290145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScottish: Is Winnipeg as snowy as it is here now? I have a love/hate relationship with winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290144 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:23:02 +0000 woodentulip 1290144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the notes...</p> <p>The snow is hitting on this end in Toronto, so it is the delay out that we are worried about (well, and the drive into the mountains after...ahhh!). </p> <p>I will see about getting a confirmed flight for Monday...we can't leave tomorrow--my husband is working through this week and really has to!</p> <p>Thanks for those thoughts, ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290137 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:17:59 +0000 MrsScottish 1290137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am from Winterpeg!! I totally understand!! Like previous poster said, anyway you can leave early?? Or reschedule until Monday?? Get a confirmed seat on flight out on Monday instead of getting pushed over into stand by?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290132 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:15:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1290132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you leave early, like Thursday, and get there before the storm hits? Where is your family located-- are they in the mountains or in Calgary? If in Calgary, maybe you could still stay with them even if you can't make the drive up to the mountains for a few more days? </p> <p>I'm a total baby about driving in snow, but I feel like Canadians are a little heartier than me when it comes to that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snow-and-travel-what-would-you-do#post-1290120 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:07:53 +0000 woodentulip 1290120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are supposed to fly from Toronto to Calgary and then drive into the mountains on Sunday, where we will spend a week with family over Christmas.</p> <p>At the same time, Toronto is supposed to get hit with a pretty big storm on Fri-Sat-Sun and up to a foot of snow. The airline we are flying (Air Canada) is waiving change fees already for those who need to reschedule. What would you do? Reschedule now and mess up time with family? Or risk travel on Sunday after the big dump of snow and potential freezing rain? Ahhhh!!! As if Christmas travel isn't stressful enough...throwing mother nature into the mix really messes it up! </p>
