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.
JFK TAF (Terminal Aerodome Forecast)
KJFK 011122Z 0112/0218 03013KT 5SM -SN OVC040

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

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.

Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
Doesn't look like fun out there at EWR, and the snow is definitely piling up here in Jersey.

Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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.

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

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.

Re: Nor'Easter Smacking-Up the Northeast
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.
