Wow. I don't miss my annual ventures in and out of the northeast in the winter. I do the holidays in Idaho and visit northeast friends and family in the spring and fall now. Not just because of the weather, but that's a nice benefit. I guess its pretty lucky they're getting you out just a day later with so many people impacted.

That reminds of me a drama I saw played out in Denver last month. It was right before a blizzard was coming in. I was there early, just sitting at some random gate. Two guys got the gate late for their flight, and the airline had already given up most of the seats to stand-bys. There was 1 seat left. The gate guy said, "I can only take one of you, whoever doesn't get on this plane will probably be stuck here for at least 3-4 days, and you have to make your decision in 90 seconds". It was so intense and awkward that I got up and walked away, I couldn't handle it. Should have recorded it on my cell phone.
