WOW! 3.1! We are talking fuel numbers here right?

One look at FlightAware right now shows A LOT of diversions to SWF today from JFK and EWR.
AA S80
Eagle RJ's
CO 757's
CO 764's
CO 735's
the list goes on....
There was some nasty weather at JFK when I landed today around 1:45pm. Our captain announced at some point during the flight that there was a high chance we would need to divert to an alternate airport and of course wishful thinking lead me to hope for SWF although later when I deplaned my ERJ-145 in the pouring rain on the tarmac at Terminal 2 I asked my pilot and he informed me it would have been PVD.
Here is a full list:
Miami Air 737-800 from MRY (Charter)
US Airways Express CRJ-200 to STL (Charter)

When do most of these diversions occur? What time of day?
Summertime diversions can, of course, happen at any time, but the two most common reasons are fog and thunderstorms. With the typical weather in the Northeast, fog tends to develop in the hours just surrounding sunrise (air temp at the lowest, approaching the dewpoint), and thunderstorms flare up in the late afternoon when all of the energy stored in the form of heat and humidity needs to go somewhere. Divvos due fog happened this morning at JFK when LAN went to IAD, SA and TG went to Newark, a DL 772 went to Boston, an AA 762 went to Buffalo, and lots of JetsBlue went to BDL and ACY.

ATA DC-10 from JFK going to CLE
There is no one to take me to the airport to go see that beauty. :(
Jet Blue A320s from LGB and BUR.
The ATA DC-10 is on her way back from CLE and I learned via Phil that the aircraft is N702TZ.
I was really hoping on catching her but I should have known by her 1:30am arrival time that she was probably going to go out very early in the morning and it turns out a 2:30am departure to DFW is planned.
Oh well.
9/3
Kitty Hawk 727-200 from LEX
North American 757-200 from IND
Goodbye American Eagle, so long. Stewart will not be the same without you! Never again will I fly out of SWF! I wish I could see AA at Stewart again, but no more! Glad I was there to see the last flight leave, after all, I was on the very first flight.

Flightaware is showing Travlota coming back in tonight from Albuquerque but it is showing a 703 rather then the normal 701. Is that just a Flightaware mistake or could he be flying in on another 707?
Its N707JT
Flight aware just made a mistake. He flew a 701 to Albuequerque.
FDX9516 from PHNL due to arrive at 1:30PM this is a horse charter for USDA. Just to give you the heads up!
FedEx carries horses?
Yes, very rarely though. Usually Air Transport Int'l bring them in. Remember horse charters are rare at SWF. They only fly them in is they have 20 or over. In this case, they have 65 on FDX. Most horses go through JFK, and truck down. Not just horses but all kinds of live stock too. I saw they un loading penguins from arctic before.
UPS has even transported whale sharks from Taiwan to Atlanta with 747s
