have you called the airport and explained your situation? I would like to think in an extreme condition as yesterday, they could reschedule you to a later flight.

This past winter, when I was up in NYC, they had bad snow storms and Delta rescheduled me to another flight with no problems

May I suggest you get another girlfriend?
Someone with electricity, perhaps?

You absolutely sure you're working today? The premier declared a state of emergency and ordered everyone except for essential personnel to stay off the roads. My 3 - 11 shift at Best Buy in Mississauga is cancelled, and the CostCo across the street is empty too...

I called them up at 11AM today, and they said they are open. So I'm guessing I got work! I too have a 3.30-10.30 shift (alsmot similar to yours).
Costco Is hardcore.

What luck right? Last time this happened was the 70's. 30 years, it waited just for you! I'm very impressed and thankful to see New York City the way it is today. No looters, no riots, just communities at their best.
