Anyone stuck in the weather?

Major delays and cancellations on US east coast today due to snow and winter storms.

Anyone stuck?

I managed to get out of PHL on a 6am, although we didn't get off the ground until about 8am. Seems that today was the first day that they tried out their new "car wash" style de-icing procedure, where the plane pulls into a de-icing area, and two crane-style booms spray the plane. Needless to say, it didn't work out too well, so the captain called the regular trucks over to take care of it.
