[quote name='scchasgal']Santa will be in your neighborhood next week you can ask him and hopefully he will deliver. I hope he does since I don't want anyone shivering and chattering their teeth. Makes me feel cold along with them.[/quote]

Good thing Santa is coming next week - he would be very chilly in the Blizzard we are having here in NY - LOL:D

Delaware is still getting snow and we already have about 16 inches. We are under State of Emergency and so is Maryland. No travel unless absolutely necessary. I believe it goes until 6 am tomorrow. But the Flyers and Sixers games are on....Eagles game got moved to tomorrow.

[quote name='NanD']We are Pride cruisers and happy to report we're checked into a Baltimore hotel for the night. Being from Northern Virginia, we hadn't anticipated driving the hour to the port until tomorrow, but didn't want to leave it to chance given the weather so decided getting here today would be prudent. Additinally, our son and family would be driving down from Central New Jersey. Roads were pretty lousy, but from both direcrtions on I-95, we're all here and accounted for. We have met others at the hotel who came ahead of time for the same reason. Looking forward to tomorrow, but feeling badly as have to assume there will be many who can't get to the ship.

Glad you all made it to Baltimore safe. It looks like the snow has slowed down considerbly now. Hopefully the roads will be better tomorrow. I just wonder how they are going to dig all thise parked cars out:eek:

I had the same thought of those returning to Baltimore tomorrow!!

Those returning on the Pride will also have fun. They will be headed towards Cape Hatteras as the storm is intensifying. When they get off, some will have to dig out their vehicles from a foot or more of snow.

[elkranger]

Hey Bren,
we have a fellow cruiser that lives in Hampstead, Md
We talked earlier, told me that had gotten abt 18 inches so far

How abt U

I just saw in the cc news and feature section a post that said that the pride will be sailing from baltimore on monday this week. How does that work? Are they cutting that sailing down to a 6 day trip, or do they stay out and come back next monday? I am really starting to freak out a little bit here. I will be on the pride next week. (HOPEFULLY):confused:

Even if the ship leaves Baltimore on Monday, it will return the following Sunday. So a 7 day cruise turns into a 6 day.

Unless, of course, there's another blizzard next Sunday.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....lets not say that

Yes it has....not looking too good out there.

[trock]

Long Island is getting majorly hit... UGH

[Heirloom]

[quote name='MrPete']Just a warning.

Our insurance covered all expenses for us getting to the ship, but not the cruise itself.

All we kept getting told was to due whatever it took to get to the ship.[/quote]

We always insure BOTH air and cruise......i.e., the entire travel plan, with
Access America. Not cheap, but who knows.....someday may need the backup ! (hope not).

I thought the east coast could handle snow. State of emergency? Stores closed?
Two weeks ago, we had 20" of snow and -12 temps, followed with another 8" of snow.Schools closed for one day, all stores were opened. We have few snow plows here and my street is still covered with a couple of inches of ice. All it takes is common sense and chains on your tires and you are good to go!

[quote name='The Grumpus']If I didn't enjoy an occasional snow storm I would be living in Florida. Given they happen (here) only every 5 years or so, I take them!

Here's some night pics of the front yard & walk...

[quote name='afcj1']Nice pics Fred. My son is still scheduled to fly out Sun, into BWI.[/quote]Thanks Annette. And he just my make it in too. Supposedly the Chicago Bears just flew in about an hour ago for the game tomorrow. The roads are not too too bad either so his ride should be able to make it as well.

About 24" in Suffolk County Long Island, it's still snowing.. and the winds are horrible!

[Bonneville02]

It is 7:30 Sunday morning in MD inside the Beltway. Looks like it may be over for us. Time to dig out the cars and the walk. I see the sun.

[MrPete]

I'm not quite sure what the facilities are in Baltimore but the Celebrity Mercury is due in Monday morning, so the Pride may have no choice about leaving by early Monday. 20 inches in Baltimore, so it's going to be a very interesting day.
