<p>D and I were planning to visit Yale this weekend, flying into BDL airport (Hartford) late Saturday night. Should we cancel the trip because of the severe weather conditions?</p>
<p>Bradley is closd today, but long range forecast for the balance of the week is clear and cold. Teens overnight, 30’s during the day. Saturday is supposedly blustery as well.</p>
<p>Definitely go. Severe weather conditions are part of the deal.</p>
<p>Unless the airport is closed, I’d go. As mini says, you’ll get a feel for winter in New England. Just because it’s cold does not mean you won’t have a nice time!</p>
<p>Mini should disclose that he is a card-carrying member of the Polar Bear Club who ‘finds it invigorating’ to leap into frigid waters wearing nothing but a Speedo,…</p>
<p>Severe weather is supposed to be over by tonight; it will just be cold over the weekend, and certainly by Saturday the schdules should be more or less back to normal.</p>
<p>You should definately go; barring any airport closures, of course. This will give your D a chance to experience New Haven at it’s worst; to see if she can handle it!</p>
<p>besides, new haven did not get hit very hard today.</p>
<p>Husband and D flew in and out of BDL exactly a year ago during winter break for a college trip. Weather did NOT make for easy driving but no real problems. (Though one freeway was shut down for a couple of hours!) Best to know what she’s in for!</p>
<p>Things really do get back up and running pretty quick. Didn’t seem to bother my D, she’s going back that way for college next year.</p>
<p>By Saturday things should be fine. This is really not that bad today-- I was just out driving around in Fairfield County (business necessity driving) – but I wouldn’t recommend it for tourism in a rental car!</p>
<p>By Saturday things will be winter-normal.</p>
<p>Canceling and then rescheduling would be difficult and expensive.</p>
