The snow in Charleston--the first heavy snow (and by heavy I mean a couple inches at best) in a decade--effectively shut down Charleston International Airport. Apparently, when the airport is in a city that never snows, it is given no equipment to deal with even the slightest amount of icy precipitation. So, when the rain began to freeze last night at the same time my flight was scheduled to leave for New York, there was no functioning equipment to de-ice the wings.
Seeing as the first show I'm scheduled to attend, the fabulous Elise Overland, does not start until 6 p.m. tonight, I am hopeful that I will still make it to New York on time. The winter wonderland I woke up to this morning (see above pictures) made my optimism waver, but after reviewing my options--drive three hours up to Charlotte, NC and attempt to get to New York from there--with an unfriendly US Air Phone Support person, I have decided my best option at this time is to stay and try to leave from Charleston.
I am hoping and praying beyond that, despite the reasonable capabilities of a southern city entrenched in snow, I will make to NYC in time to attend the Elise Overland show and report up close pictures and in depth runway review back to Style Unzipped!
About to head back to Charleston International airport for another go at it. Wish me luck my stylish darlings!
