There's the confirmation, along with the revelation of my middle name. I'd arrived and parked the car at the airport around 3am UK and most people were oblivious to the news. It became obvious pretty quickly that it was going to be doom. There were some crazy alternatives including a $3,000 x 4 flight option arriving in PHX around midnight. I don't understand cancellation and re-book policies but I'm sure I will become familiar with them over next few hours.
Sorry guys, but just like our Mariners.......... next year will have to be the year.
