Now that was a travel day (video below)

It's nearly 3am Central Time and the CSUB Roadrunners have finally arrived in South Dakota, landing around 12:30 local time and making it to the hotel about an hour later. It was to say the least an adventure on the road and in the air today.
We knew it was going to be a long day when before departure at LAX we learned roads were already closed into Brookings, South Dakota where South Dakota State is located, forcing us to make plans to stay in Sioux Falls where we were scheduled to land around 8:30 local time. We did...for about 2.1 seconds.
Our initial flight to Sioux Falls from Minneapolis made a quick touchdown before the pilot pulled up and decided it was too windy to get the plane straight enough for a landing. Winds were clocked on the ground at 30-40 mph and blowing snow caused limited visibility on other runways. We were then sent back to Minneapolis for reorganizing.
We eventually, after a short wait that included information we wouldn't be getting out of Minnesota, got on a later flight to Sioux Falls.
With stomachs still in knots from the first ride to South Dakota, the team was needless to say a little worried about what the next flight had in store. It was an easier ride until landing time. The winds had died down and visibility was up but the landing was still interesting.
But we made it. Below are some videos from the Minneapolis terminal after our first failed landing in Sioux Falls. More to come tomorrow as we attempt to bus up to Brookings which was hammered by the recent storm.
