It sure sounds cool (or trying to look pro!?) Mentioning an airport just with its code.

Most anyone in the biz or at least with an interest would do the same, no? Not being pre-cleared through customs adds another level of diverting complexity to consider so if you have fuel you might as well stick around as long as you can. MSP has had some of the worst WX I can remember this spring/early summer. Add in 100% humidity with high temps and it has turned it into a sweltering jungle, bugs included. It's just incredible how the seasons change there. A few hundred miles north the Hudson bay is still partially covered with ice.
