Quite a few years back, Holiday Inn had an advertising campaign celebrating its consistency (or blandness if you’re a cup-is-half-empty type). “No surprises” was the promise. In other words, we’re not the greatest but we won’t let you down. You know what we have and we will deliver it every time. Kind of like the Number 2 meal at McDonald’s. If in doubt, go with the tried and true. Made a lot of sense to me.

Wyndam Hotels may want to call Holiday Inn and ask to borrow the campaign. It seems that Wyndam found the nifty, add-on mother lode that car dealers milked for many years. Used to be, you could get a car at a good price and the dealers would make all their profit in add-ons such as luggage racks, pin striping, paint sealant, and rust proofing. Wyndham simply changed the tags to resort fees, resort tariffs, energy surcharges, and parking/transportation fees. Somebody at Wyndham probably made vice president with that idea but, if so, they had better get their resume in order.

In addition to the two feet of snow we have had today (the storm gained enough strength to be categorized this afternoon as a blizzard), winds are very strong tonight and may hamper lift operations at the ski areas tomorrow too. However, even getting to VT may prove to be too much of a challenge anyway.

This is the biggest snow storm I have ever been through. I would imagine it will take the better part of tomorrow to get the roads plowed and to get Burlington airport open. The winds are pushing the snow around so much that even if the roads are plowed, they drift back over soon after.

The snow plows have been at work all night and it looks like major roads should be in decent shape by mid-day today. There will be some exceptions no doubt and a few spots may see some drifting but overall, travel should be basically fine.

The Burlington airport is open but there are no flights to Philadelphia or LaGuardia because those airports are closed.
