First time I can recall and wing exit door coming open in flight.

This will be interesting. The need to find the door and look at the latches and mechanism.

Details on the 737 door loss.

This guy is a commercial pilot and does excellent aviation incident reports.

ATC communication of the flight.

Pilot on the comms was a little stressed at the beginning... totally expected.

Once they determined the plane was flying and controllable settle right down and got the plane down.

With the storm coming - 

Thre's no business like snow business like no business I know
Everything about it is a-plowing, so that the traffic will go flow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are clearing that snow-filled road

There's no people like snow people, they smile when clouds are low
Even with a blizzard out in the cold, you keep them stranded out in the snow
