Looking at the forecast for the drive in on Monday and Tuesday they are going to be strong storms both days all the way there. Fun for all!

Seems like things are looking good for us. Bad weather on Monday for anyone going early but it should only be rain when we get there Wednesday.

If you haven't been to St Louis (or anywhere in the midwest for that matter) be ready for the weather to change on a dime. I remember growing up in St Louis and having it go from the 80s to the low 50s in the same day.

Airline update. Keep an eye open since airlines are still trying to get back up to full service. Continental (now United) is back to full schedule today.

Made it to St. Louis. Flight even landed early! SWA lands at Terminal 2 and you wouldn't know they had a storm Friday night. But, when you ride the shuttle past Terminal 1 you see all the boarded up windows, the big airport signs are down, the traffic signals aren't working, and the flag pole is a little askew. As you drive west on I-70, the damage can't be missed. Be sure to check with your carrier for their status.

My aunt lives out there and last year there was a sudden snow storm right before she went into labor. It was perfectly fine before then, albeit very cold! Yeah, I predict bad weather while we're there.

We made it here as well!

St. Louis is doing a GREAT job at cleaning up the city and welcoming FIRSTers at the same time.

We flew in United and there were no issues, there were even empty seats on our flight from SF to STL!!!

I Flew in Yesterday afternoon from Philadelphia.

There were no delays, in fact we were 10 minutes early on Southwest who is the major carrier here. Everything is fine, the Metro, Airport, no troubles at all.

One terminal is damaged, which is where American and other carriers use, so those airlines with limited flights may be impacted, canceled, or delayed.

just to let everyone know so they don't worry or haven't already checked, that airport is functioning again. http://www.lambert-stlouis.com/
