Winter Wonderland


Wow what a day. We have been flying around this week in a winter wonderland. The first day we were in Charlotte and they received a couple of inches of snow and the whole operation shut down. Not in Minneapolis. Take a look at where Santa Lives.

Trying to taxi around the airport with out any taxi lines. They are all covered by snow.

Landing can be tricky as everything goes white when you put the aircraft into reverse. Slippery!
Even driving the baggage carts has it's challenges.

This is the view as we start to get deiced. Cool machines. They call it the car wash. There is one of these contraptions on each side of the airplane. He has a nozzle on the front and sprays the aircraft with deice fluid.

On to California for the night. These are the Rockies. Very beautiful snow covered.


Even the Grand Canyon has snow on it. Cool!


Lots of traffic today.

Well it has been a long day of fighting the weather. I am tired, see ya tomorrow. I am getting some sleep.
