I looked at the radars, Marsha. It looks like Lansing and Flint had a little bit of snow, but it should not have been enough to cause a problem, unless the airlines and pilots were from Atlanta or south of there. (Oops, sorry Fran & all.) Ironically, Detroit would have been the one more apt to have icing problems.

I would think any commercial plane coming in from Atlanta would have wing de-icing capabilities. Wing icing would have been the only thing that I might have thought about worrying about. Maybe it was easier for the airline to blame the delay on the weather than on a mechanical problem, or something?
I hope they have a good trip home! Please let us know how your injured daughter is doing. Hang in there, Marsha!
