As an event planner myself, I know how much work the week prior to something like the NYC mary is. I am sure glad I am not managing that event. What a nightmare. There is far more to putting that marathon on than what happens on Saturday and Sunday. All the preparations that should be happening this week just are not going to get done. Even if the storm is gone and cleaned up by the weekend, this will be a huge impact on the race. Yikes.
This.
Indeed, Yikes
Not so much for Race Day next Sunday, but for all the stuff that will be going on during the week, and then the transportation in of many people will be delayed I am sure. If airports are shut down and all flights in/out cancelled for a day or two, then there is a massive back-log and ripple effect with that.
Heck, I am traveling in the opposite direction - from Toronto to Winnipeg - tomorrow morning, and I there may be problems with my flight. Not because of the weather, but that the plane that was to be used for my flight, is not available as it's stuck in NYC!
