Very interesting to wake up to T-storms this morning here in the upper Midwest. I know it shouldn't be, but the first one of the season always gets my attention. And of course, light snow is slated for tomorrow, because upper Midwest.
On an anecdotal level, my airport has been packed this last week. After the last 2 years, it's almost nice(?) to have to wade through a crowd to get to work.

Always nice to deal with departure fix closures and long taxi outs one day; then deicing the next.
Saw a couple Tweets last weekend that suggested load factors were in the upper 90's.. I'm sure "almost" was not haphazardly placed in front of "nice."
Can’t speak for everyone, but we’ve been pushing high 80/low 90s LF’s on a system level for the last several days.
Watching lightning monitors while making sure deice trucks are gassed/full of glycol is it’s own kind of dissonance. Lol.
And you’re right it’s not “almost nice,” it’s just nice. Actually it’s awesome.
