Radar System Still Not Working PALM SPRINGS  The Palm Springs International Airport is still without a radar system.

The airport reported a few technical glitches last week, but now officials have completely shut down the system and are having to start from scratch and completely rebuild. Officials do not know exactly when the radar will be up and running again. They are trying to have the system ready by the New Years travel crunch.

The "New Year's travel crunch"?

I thought no one was flying!

Something doesn't add up here...

Yeah, the new year's travel crunch...when everyone starts flying again (try around January 15...).

More like "the New Year's travel crunch" when flying planes start crunching.
