    I am supposed to fly home tomorrow (from Seattle to New Hampshire). Not looking promising, my only hope is that the storm is over and cleaned up by the tiem I am due to arrive....

    Good luck!

    Funny how people have differing views. I love white lights. I think the colored lights are too '50 ish.

    The Griswolds across the street from me still use the large colored lights I remember from 20 years ago. They use so many that even my living room is lit up. :D

    That being said, I also prefer the look of white lights.

    My house and Christmas tree are all white lights.

    White lights do look "nicer" but they just don't have that festive feel that I like with Christmas :) I go colored lights, they make me feel like a kid; white lights make me feel like an old lady.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I think Massachusetts has a law that says if you live in a "colonial" house (even if it was built in 1974, as ours was) that you have to have single white candles in all the windows.

    We do. :-P

    I think that, further, you're supposed to have an expensive European sedan in the garage or driveway, as well... but we don't do that.

    Bob, how did you find the conditions on your return trip?

    See now I'm the opposite. Colored lights remind me of some old Italian goomba in South Philly.

    Our son's en route to Boston from Budapest via Zurich even now. We'll see 1) if he actually made it onto the plane in Zurich and/or 2) whether we actually make it in to Logan tonight...

    I'm at Sea-Tac right now. Our flight into Newark is listed as on-time so hopefully everything stays that way. About an hour till take-off.

    After that I just have to make it from Newark to Manchester NH; we decided if our flight was canceled out of Newark we'd just rent a car adn drive the 4 hours. Beats sleeping in an airport.

    Thanks for the thoughts :)

    Manchester should've dodged the brunt of the storm.

    It did indeed. Made it in only about ten minutes behind schedule. Good to be home, despite all the shoveling I have to do.
