[Mpi-forum] 2011 meetings

[Jeff Hammond]

It would be good to look at actual data on airport closures if that's  
how you want to decide. December weather at SFO may not include snow  
but can still delay many flights. I've been victim to plenty of winter  
delays in Chicago due to problems at LAX, SFO, SeaTac, etc.  not ORD/ 
MDW.  I've heard ORD has more snow plows than any airport on earth.
