Diverted to Bangor

It's snowing - about 5 inches in just a few hours. My husband didn't make it back from San Diego in time before Logan airport was closing. Their flight got diverted to Bangor, Maine.

At least, the passengers were allowed to leave the plane. It didn't look like this at the beginning. The crew told the passengers that they would try to go to Boston in a few hours. Until then all passengers had to remain in the airplane. Later this changed and passengers could leave.

My husband and his colleague decided to drive home from Bangor. It's a four hours ride in good conditions - only the conditions are not good right now. They have already rented a car and are now looking for a hotel for the night.

Again, I'm experiencing that weather impacts the daily life here much more than we are used to it from Europe. It's only five inches of snow, and the schools closed early, and we have a snow emergency ....
