Edit: Now it's Feb 11-13, one extra day!

Goddammit. This better not screw up my flight to Osaka on Saturday

Is that an NH flight?

Yes, it is. Sorry.

I assume they are also affected by the snow though...

You never know. Some carriers weren't delayed by volcanic eruption while certain carrier was

OK ANA puts a note on their site too: http://fli.ana.co.jp/fs/domjpmenu

So let's see how they take care of you during irregular operations

You're... enjoying this, aren't you?

Hell ya! Maybe that's the sign

want to meet up on Saturday?! I think KIXman will be back also..

Whew..I was going to originally do my MR on Thursday and Friday and Saturday.....

You sure sendaiben can arrive as scheduled?

Would love to, but I don't think I'll have time. I'm off to Okayama to a conference

Why am I sendaiben all of a sudden?

Maybe next time then

that is your handle name....

You can teach me some sendaiben also....kansaiben is easy

you aren't?

No, I mean the bolding...

OT: Oh that's the convention we use on FT when we mention somebody. I suggested for the tagging function here and we will see if that's implemented

Ah, okay. Makes sense now...

kind of like @sendaiben on twitter

Not only snowstorm in Kanto but also here in Kansai!
My flight arrived at KIX on time but there sure is a lot of snow piled up around on the way home

Snowball fight!!!!!

So I guess we can expect more than usual flight delays in the next few days

when's your flight back home, sendaiben? It would be great to meet up with you too sometime!

I'm lucky I didn't choose my MR today...whew

It's the same kind of thing, I'm afraid... Finish conference, rush back to Osaka, grab flight back to Sendai

Are you based in Osaka? I travel a bit domestically, so I'm normally down there a couple of times a year. I'll keep you all posted

Oh, too bad... make your stay longer next time!

I live in Kobe . Let us know when your next plans to visit are!
Also if we can gather the people for a oct/nov maple leaves DO we should make it in SDJ!

JAL updated the snow storm forecast to Feb 11-13. One extra day of heavy snow
