For those of you who look forward to following the China Exchange Blog when it revs up around Chinese New Year each year, you must be wondering why nothing has appeared given that the departure date of February 8 (yesterday) has come and gone. Well, wouldn't you know it, the 5th biggest snowstorm in Massachusetts history had to hit us at exactly the right (wrong) time, cancelling Friday 10am flight to Newark/Hong Kong. Why it was cancelled, and so soon, is beyond me. The forecast called for the storm to start in earnest around Friday noon, and in fact on Friday morning things weren't too bad. But United had already cancelled all its flights on Thursday evening. Are the airlines getting soft?
