Jan 15-16 Ice Storm?

Ugh! Wifey and I are leaving for Hawaii on Wednesday morning from Omaha. With the potential crippling storm I am really worried that we won't get out. Yeah the storm will be gone by Wednesday morning but it's all of the ice, damage, and airplane availability that I'm worried about.
We were scheduled to leave Monday morning from Des Moines, American Airlines allowed us to fly out Sunday morning for an extra dollar. Heading to Kauai.
I refuse to acknowledge names for winter storms.
I'm trying to figure out how Jupiter can have such an effect on an ice storm in the Midwest. I guess I shouldn't discount the endless sci-fi movies that talk about planetary alignments to make a plot work.
1. That graphic is overblown.
2. You will be fine for all modes of transportation on Wednesday.
Like 40 tickets? A weekend game and you may have a point, for a Monday night game there has typically been very few KU fans in Hilton, and the ones that do go are probably alums that are local.
Well if that's the case then they all seem to sit in front of me. Would be nice to have a game without douche KU fans around, though it has been fun the times they lost.
We haven't got that opportunity from AA. They haven't extended the travel advisory to 1/18. Guess we will be skateing down to Omaha sometime on the 17th.
My daughter's school was one of those that was cancelled. Meanwhile, I drove 80 mph on the way to work this morning. The Iowan in me just shakes my head at how quickly they cancel schools. There's a distinct difference between being prepared and being paranoid.
...and it still has not rained a drop in KC yet. Went to Hy-Vee last night to grab a few things for dinner, and Ive never turned around and walked back out as fast as I did last night. Every checkout line was open, and at least 5-10 deep.
I thought I would be ok getting a few things at the local Hy-Vee tonight. What a mess. I didn't want a lot in case we lose power but everyone was loading up their carts. It isn't even coming until Sunday night. I guess the one day sale was a big deal too, lots of cases of Mountain Dew.
So the $1M question, will it be melted off enough by Monday 5pm to drive to Ames from Cedar Rapids?
Suppose to fly out at 8:10 Monday morning. Safe to say that aint gonna happen.
Flying Delta into Frankfurt and I could really use an upgrade to business class if anyone has one they wanna toss to a fellow Clone
