1. I78
This is not far at all from where I live, these folks were stuck in the area of Cabela's. Sounds miserable.

2. JFK
I was listening to ATC while JFK froze up - metaphorically and literally. But the Jetblue situation was beyond all rational explanations:
"Hundreds of passengers who were stranded on parked JetBlue planes for up to 10 1/2 hours Wednesday could have been evacuated much sooner if the airline hadn't waited so long to ask airport officials for help.
The airline acknowledged yesterday that it hesitated nearly five hours before calling in shuttle buses to unload 10 jets that spent the day sitting on runways at John F. Kennedy International Airport because of icy weather and gate congestion."
