Anyone can pretty much agree that traveling to a convention can be a hassle, especially when the convention is being hosted during wintertime, or when the location of the convention center presents unique scenarios that you wouldn't normally find at others.

Weather can play a huge role with logistical planning for a convention. You cannot account for Mother Nature staying the course and trusting the Weather Channel. You cannot accurately predict the weather at all, and there were several situations (especially during Winter), when the weather played a huge role.

For instance let's talk about Katsucon 2010. The convention is always during winter, around February. For that year, the New England area got hit with a huge snow storm that wreaked havoc. It created unsafe travel conditions, flight cancelations, event some convention goers got into motor vehicle accidents while en route to the convention center. The only thing we can really do is try to adapt our plans accordingly.
