Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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)
You can monitor delays at local airports with mouse-overs on this site: http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/usmap.jsp
Let's see how it all goes. Be safe out there, folks!
Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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.
Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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:

Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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.
Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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:
Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
It was 95 degrees here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I miss the snow!
Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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.
