All that snow makes the day after Christmas look nice and day-after-Christmasy, but it's putting some crimps in holiday travel plans. Via Facebook comes this snapshot of a plane that skidded off the runway at McGhee Tyson Airport this morning, apparently while taxiing for takeoff. Witnesses report the passengers were offloaded safely onto a bus. Anyone with flights scheduled today is advised to call in advance.

UPDATE: It appears it may have been American Airlines flight 3650, bound for Miami, which was scheduled for a 6 a.m. departure and is currently showing a six-hour delay. Here are a few more photos.
