One of my sisters was due to fly home from New York today, but as she's a Purser with BA she's going nowhere. She's with other crew members in a lovely hotel and popped out yesterday to top up what she describes as 'room snacks', so she's prepared to be snowed in for a few days until the flights resume.
My other sister is a workaholic who travels a lot in her job and has only recently returned to work after an extended sick leave. She's stuck in her apartment in Connecticut with snow already covering her tyres and her apartment supervisor has warned of the very real possibility of power cuts. She has enough food and a good torch, but I know that after 24 hours she'll be going stir crazy if the power goes off and she has no access to the internet. As in New York, there is also a road curfew in place.
