« US Airways' computer problems | Main | The sun is out at PHL »
PHL has the experienced the usual delays a snow day brings. The airport has closed one runway at a time to clear snow, which always slows operations, but the runways have never been completely shut down. US Airways canceled nine mainline, large-jet flights, 6 percent of its schedule, and scrubbed 63 Express flights, about 22 percent of the total. Other carriers also have canceled flights. Most flights are arriving or departing from a few minutes to several hours late.

I was one of those UA Airways Express flights that got cancelled with the big 2 inch snow fall on Weds. I had to stay overnight in Toronto and missed most of the next day's work. Samething happened on Valentine's day. At least with that storm you could understand it. But really, 2 inches of snow should not create so many delays and cancellations. I think this is the airport, not the airlines fault.
