Plot
When Marshall and Robin arrive, Lily is not there. Future Ted reveals that each story took place across the three days of the storm: Robin and Marshall went to pick up Lily on the first day, Ted and Barney ran MacLaren's on the second, and Lily arrived on the third. On the first day, Marshall realizes that that day's lunchtime phone-call ritual between himself and Lily had been in a voicemail Lily had left that her flight back to New York City had been delayed for two more days due to the snow storm. Marshall ignored the call because he felt that all of their traditions were slipping away and that it was a natural progression of their relationship to let their rituals die, from the lunchtime phone-call to the New Year's kiss.
When Lily arrives, she does not find Marshall at the airport. Suddenly, airport residents, the "Fighting Hens", start playing marching band instruments to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne", and Marshall greets Lily. They joyfully reunite with a late New Year's kiss and Marshall asks if he now has to bring a marching band each time he picks up Lily.
