Today was travel day and it should have been relatively short—leaving North Dakota after 10:00 a.m. and arriving in New Orleans around 4:00 p.m. It was supposed to be less than six hours of travel. However, it snowed in Minot overnight. It was nice to see snow, but I wanted did not want for it to delay my travel. Delay my travel it did. The flight out of North Dakota was delayed long enough (partially due to the airplane’s late arrival and partially due to de-icing procedures) that I missed my connection in Minneapolis. Fortunately, the airline rearranged my travel—unfortunately they rerouted me through a different airport. Instead of arriving in New Orleans at 4:00 p.m., I was on an airplane preparing to land in Detroit!
I was a little frustrated because I’d planned to go to the UL baseball game tonight, but I would miss it because of the delay. I would, however, get a chance to revisit the Detroit airport, which I had flown through once before. Anyway, it worked out alright, the baseball game was delayed a day because of expected inclement whether in New Orleans. When I did arrive in New Orleans, I found that my baggage made the connection that I was unable to make in Minneapolis! Here are some pictures from the day:
Snow Everywhere
It made visibility terrible.
They deliver everywhere.
