If you are going to drive down leave ASAP. This is only going to get worse and not better. If you can snag a flight I'd do that instead.

Lots of flight cancellations and delays today. Its a gamble but good gamble.

until they close it get goin!!!

The idea of possibly getting stranded in their car somewhere in the no man's land between Edmonton and Calgary in -20 weather during a blizzard might have them thinking about not risking it..... Remember folks, even a Pearl Jam show isn't worth dying for.

My thought exactly. Thats a place you do not want to get stranded. Yea we are forgetting that the temps are supposed to dip below -20. Cool Arctic air blowing in.........typical Alberta winter

Looks my trip is officially cancelled. I've been checking the highway 2 cameras and most are showing white out conditions. I only wish I could pass my tickets on to someone else in Calgary to use :(

That's kinda where I'm at TJack. Kinda wish I could just pass my tickets to someone who will use them.

Those webcams don't looks so great. Remember, this is the START of the storm. Its gonna get worse.

Sorry to hear some 10C members aren't able to make it. That's a bummer, but likely a good decision. There'll be more shows to attend.

Wish there were a way for the 10C to take back and re-sell tickets. I know it's asking a bit in terms of setting up and managing another ticketing system...

Hi all ... we flew in to Calgary from the east coast to see this show. We are out at a hotel just north of the airport. Can someone recommend the best way to get to and from the show in these conditions?

Cab would probably be best, no direct transit link from there and with the cold thats coming you don't wanna be waiting outside for a bus.
