And who's to stop me from traveling if I want a change?
The snow?

I was in Denver a few years ago. It was supposed to be a 3-day business trip. It started snowing about 9 AM the first day. By noon the word came down from management: "Get out while you can!" By the time we could convince our boss the best thing to do was get out quickly,

the airport was closed

the roads in all 4 directions out of the city was closed

taxis and public transport weren't running.

And restaurants and grocery stores were closed.

We finally got out a week later.
