Changes and updates

We have had a little bit of a weather forecast change as our day has gone on. This is what NOAA has for us currently
Tonight: Clear, with a low around -17. Wind chill values as low as -40. West wind between 11 and 14 mph.

Saturday: Sunny and cold, with a high near -6. Wind chill values as low as -40. West wind between 11 and 14 mph.

Saturday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around -14. Wind chill values as low as -29. West wind between 6 and 10 mph.


The weary travelers have bee up for 24+ hours due to a six hour stop on a non-stop flight out of Lhasa into Shanghai. Right now they are sitting on the tarmac in Chicago, waiting to take off for home (their plane was scheduled to land here ten minutes ago). When I last talked to them about fifty minutes ago, Hubband was figuring that DTE was going to last for about another thirty seconds, bu she was claiming she would last until take off (which was estimated at ten minutes out at that point). I would bet real money that she didn't make it the ten minutes, much less to whenever they actually do take off.
