We have indeed been having some miserable weather in the MCI area today. Around the time this was happening I was on the roads with most of my vehicle covered in a sheet of ice except the windows. Watched two vehicles slide into an intersection attempting to stop at a traffic light.
Jump to postThis post is a nightmare and doesn’t cover anything the other posts have not already touched on twenty times over. It’s nothing but copied specifications and conjecture.

Jump to postYou are partially correct. For about half of the year Hawaii is only two hours behind California, and then for the other half it is 3 hours behind. Hawaii does not do daylight savings time (shocker to me when I first moved here!). Given the three hour time difference, those flight times given with t...
