Been tracking flights between United, American and Southwest for tomorrow the past couple days. The flights all fell off from being options for tomorrow without a sharp price increase. I don’t believe they sold out. They would have raised the last ticket on the plane to something dumb like $1K but it was $330 and then poof all options gone. Southwest has them marked as unavailable until a 550P arrival in big D.

 

Ya that’s where I’m at. Waiving the white flag. Hoping we win so I can exercise my CFP-rsvp’s.

I’m guessing that they are switching folks onto those flights that were wiped out today. 
 

DIA website showing all flights outbound to both airports as on time tomorrow…at least at this point.

MFer. Shoulda pulled the trigger. Live and learn.

Don’t beat yourself up. There will likely be additional cancellations tomorrow, especially with crews and airplanes being out of position with all of today’s cancellations.

Looks like pretty much all flights from DIA to DFW before game time are cancelled now (American last to fall). A bit down about it, but it is what it is. I imagine supply is going to go up on tickets for those looking last minute. 

The drive would only take me 15 hours right now from Denver :facepalm:

Fuck it up tomorrow y’all.

You have a ticket?

the most important data point in those images is the forecast of 37f at noon - if that is for DFW airport, then it's either warmer or warms up faster further south

if i were driving from austin i would get up and get on the road just to get on the road and stop for breakfast in georgetown, temple or waco

based on the above data i35 is totally melted all the way to i20 by noon

Not game related cause I planned on tv in Dallas home. Was at Knoxville today and decided to drive to Nashville. (Commuter always gets canceled before main line). HOPING maybe DFW will clear before BNA crashes so maybe a Friday flight. Not likely but have a flight Saturday just in case. Bought a 1.5 liter of rum, 4 liters of coke and a few limes. Staying at hotel with full kitchen so I can cook meals if needed. Stopped at a Kroger in Nashville and it was fucked up central. 
I’m sick of being poor. Cmon lottery.

I'm at the hotel. It's cold as fuck outside. Snow piled up everywhere. They definitely did a good job of clearing the roads today, but they are going to have to do it again overnight. And tomorrow. I didn't drive all this way just to watch it at the lobby bar with Karen from Southlake.

Pics of Karen from Southlake?

At this point I'm pretty confident drive to game won't be an issue for anyone as it isn't expected to get that cold overnight.  But tomorrow night is a different story as temps back in low to mid 20's for whatever is left.  Hopefully not much more precipitation tonight and it clears over the course of the day.
