Where 'Winter Storm' Means More Than Chance of Rain

Back from Colorado for Christmas. Optimism in Colorado Springs: And squatters - still waiting after one of those old-fashioned winter storms - at the Denver International Airport: Not every traveler was as lucky as us. We suffered only slight departure and luggage delays. And from now on we will find any excuse to fly out of LA/Ontario instead of LAX. (Despite continued, persistent closures of I-5 north from I-10 after midnight. Long detour to Atwater Village.)
