I just got back.  The problem wasn't the flight (although it did circle BWI
for about half an hour).  The problem was BWI airport made no provisions
for shoveling out cars (or even making shovels available for people to
shovel out their own car).  I had to do it first by hand, then by a little
baisen and finally someone took pity on me and gave me a little plastic
shovel when they were done with it (which I in turn gave to a family when I
finished).

So now my back hurts and I've shoveled far more than my share of the
blizzard for someone who lives in a condo.
