Looking a little better right this moment.

 

Yes, and the bridge is dark, but you'd think they would have to turn off all those other lights on the bow ..

Just back from my walk, I thought I'd missed it. So glad she's leaving late.:D

It'a been a beautiful day, hasn't it?:)

Well, since about 1... before that lots of rain! Hope your good weather keeps on coming over here to the mainland.:)

[Seafoam Green]

My DH got called out, so I am checking in. I'm glad to have found a positive in having Friday night messed up!

 

QV is looking good.

[Lizzie68]

2 buses five minutes away, 1 bus 10 minutes away.

[Boytjie]

Just back and checking in - looks like I have not missed the departure but the weather looks pretty poor.

 

Still not as bad as further north. ;)

[rafinmd]

Ouch! 15 minutes 25 minutes ago has only dropped to 10 minutes.

Likely with some very wet people on them!:eek:

Has the snow started in New York yet?

Has your weather turned bad yet? Bill Miller left QV in Port Canaveral to try to get home before the storm.

No, snow is supposed to start after midnight. we were at 6"-12" for a while and then late this afternoon they upped it to 10"-18" late this afternoon.

 

I guess might as well use the time stuck inside to start getting cruise packing started.

There were some nice pictures of a snowy White House on the BBC this afternoon.

Interesting that Marine Traffic still shows the QV tender:

Any word on a new departure time - am jumping between here, the Australian Open, and the kitchen

They are waiting for 3 buses, which should be there any time now. Then of course they have to check, go through security etc.

Ugh!

 

Our snow just switched to sleet. Hope it doesn't last long enough to bring down the power lines.

[rafinmd]

OK, half an hour ago the last bus was 10 minutes away. Either traffic is a lot worse than I've seen it so far or somebody's giving the ship bad information.

[erewhon]

Last bus pulling into terminal.

[Scrapnana]

Another ten minutes.

[Scrapnana]

Singling up. Could even see the men on the pier so the weather has improved some.

[rafinmd]

Front lights JUST darkened.

[rafinmd]

Movement!

[Boytjie]

There she goes. I am going to assume no toots.

[Lizzie68]

And she's finally away! Bon Voyage.
