We were floored also. They were still letting planes land about 30 minutes before turning us away but I think the closure of every road surrounding the airport, hotels with no rooms and no way to get people from the airport to anywhere was the last straw.
When we arrived the next morning it was wall-to-wall people at every gate. I have never seen so many people in an airport. Flight attendants told us that people were sleeping on the floor in the airport and that food outlets had run out of food.
We were very relieved that we had spent a comfortable night in a nice Albuquerque airport hotel with meals compliment of Delta Airlines with the bonus of getting great snow photos on the way to Denver!
