My Toes Are Ready for Ireland!

I haven't started packing but my feet are ready to visit Dublin.


Mani/Pedi crossed off the list last night. Don't worry, my fingernails are not green.
We were just checking the weather and it doesn't look good for travel. Here is the latest Storm Warning:
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT. THE SNOW MAY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES ON WEDNESDAY... BEFORE SLOWLY TAPERING OFF WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 13 INCHES ARE EXPECTED. AT THIS TIME THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA AND LONG ISLAND.
AS THE STORM INTENSIFIES... EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME STRONG AND GUSTY DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY... AND THESE WINDS CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY ACROSS COASTAL SECTIONS. THIS WILL CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW... WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES ALONG WITH POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES.
We're supposed to fly out of JFK Wednesday night - hopefully the weather guessers are wrong again. We have trip insurance and we are covered for weather delays; it's just one of those things that you have but don't want to actually use.
