Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast

[PhilDernerJr]

Some flurries started in the wee hours today, and it will only get worse and build up to about a foot around here by tomorrow.

Those last two lines tell us that heavy snow will start at about 1:00am tonight, with very poor visibility and ceilings until about 10:00am (Monday morning). Yikes. (For tips on how to read a TAF, ask, or check this out: http://aviationweather.gov/static/help/taf-decode.php)

Let's see how it all goes. Be safe out there, folks!

We have already cancelled a slew of flights for today and based on later wx briefings we will issue further cancellations for tonight and tomorrow.

Nothing better than a snowstorm on a Monday after a weekend off. :D
Sick day here I come.
And what sux is that this snow will be around for awhile as the 7 day forecast says it will
be very wintery for the rest of the week.
:evil: :evil:

[cancidas]

phil, you're the best. i love you man.... finally posting wx i can read! woo hoo!

[Matt Molnar]

National Weather Service is now forecasting up to 14 inches in and around NYC, and temps won't get out of the 30s until the end of the week, so the snow isn't going anywhere. What a mess.

[Lezam]

I was supposed to be flying out on Monday morning, but Delta canceled the flight. They rebooked me on a flight for wednesday morning. wtf :evil:

[USAF Pilot 07]

It was 95 degrees here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I miss the snow!

[Art at ISP]

I was scheduled to fly LGA-CLE-LAS tomorrow (Monday). I called CO this morning before they had an official weather waiver policy and was able to change my LGA-CLE to a flight this afternoon. I am now in CLE, and will pick up my original connecting flight tomorrow--nothing more than flurries here in CLE but it's like 8 degrees.

Be safe everyone--don't drive unless you have to!!!

Art, very proactive move on your part, this way you get to your destination when planned instead of a good chance of an upto 1 day delay. Hope you have great weather in LAS, was just their last week for 4 days and was 70 and sunny every day, also "packed". I imagine it's for business but enjoy anyway.

Doesn't look like fun out there at EWR, and the snow is definitely piling up here in Jersey.

I guess the guys who update this info are all stuck in the snow - it's showing no delays for any airport in the Northeast.

[HPNPilot1200]

Should be fun fun fun! HPN is below mins and LGA just went into a full ground stop thru 1630z and will likely change to a GDP (ground delay program) then.

Actually, most of us are enjoying it. Looks beautiful here, and an extended weekend for most. Sucks for YOU. :wink:

LOL how true. Enjoy sunny warm Dallas while you WORK! ;)


My agenda today....

Waiting for a small break in the snow, then will shovel a little bit (easy for me since my driveway is gravel then will do my elderly neighbor's driveway), then maybe I'll hit the gym. (though shoveling is a great workout)

Cook some huevos rancheros, sledding and basketball with the baby, 2 hours of 24 later with CSI to boot. A walk through the snowfallen park 8)

The hot tub was great last night and eating outside today was even better. I'm happy I'm missing the snow. I'll take the sun and warm temps any day over 12 inches of snow. :D

Did you have a bubble bath?

Not this time Moose, LOL

btw why don't I see any pictures of this grand snow storm? Between each of you there's about a million cameras on this site and not one pic?

Too much time in the bubble bath there, Sparky? Fred posted about half a dozen pictures on the first page of this thread.

sorry tom, some of us were busy. i spent almost two hours cleaning up my driveways and multiple sidewalks. after that i got to spend about an hour trying to find my 8-month-old rottweiler after he jumped into a snowdrift and got himself lost. imagine how much snow it takes to make a black dog dissapear. i was surprised that i NEEDED four wheel drive to get out of my neighborhood today too, sanitation didn't plow much of anything last night.

[mirrodie]

Fred, as usual, awesome set! What LIRR station is that though? Noticed that old P72 coach.

I was too busy today to whip out the camera, but I may have time tomorrow. The strong winds and very light powdery flakes created some interesting snow formations.
