Not only over here
Being in the USA last week, it was even in Florida quite cold. The most appalling weather had gripped wide swathes of the country, with people stuck at airports, and with massive disruption of travellers’ plans.
Yes, it was rather more centimetres of snow that paralyses this country, but the biggest casualty was a low cost airline called jetBlue, whose organisation fell apart. Passengers dressed for visits to the Caribbean sat shivering in aeroplanes for hours on frozen runways, their communications to aircrews failed too.
Here we range from laughter to fury at excuses like leaves on the line, but I have never seen such chaos. It was good to return, even if cancelled flights meant it was a day late.Â
