On our trip home Christmas Eve, we were of course worried about the blizzard conditions coming to Omaha....
...but totally failed to consider snow at the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport!
Oh no!
Would our flight out of Dallas be able to take off?
Look at those flakes! They started during our 3 1/2 hour layover....
....and the temperature fell from 38F to 32F by the time we boarded....
...then we had to sit on the ramp for an hour waiting to be de-iced....
....would we make it out of there? What was our backup plan????
Look at all those flights being canceled!!!
But the Omaha flight was still a "Go".
This is what the Omaha Airport looked like after our VERY BUMPY flight and rough -- but successful -- landing.
Those snowplow drivers are my heroes!
So we did indeed make it home and are very thankful for a great airport crew and experienced American Airlines pilot!
A neighbor picked up Howie from the kennel during our trip home so he could be with us for Christmas. We otherwise weren't going to make it to the ke
On Christmas morning Dave had to shovel a path for Howie to go out.
Our back porch.
Dave headed out in late morning to survey the shoveling he'd have to do.
