Every time I check the forecast the total keeps going up. 5-8 > 8-12 > now 12+
If this is correct, this would at minimum be the biggest March storm snowfall total since 1960 in NYC central park, and the 2nd biggest ever after March 10, according to http://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Cli...Snowstorms.pdf
Smart doing so. Did they charge you? I just learned from the CT weather thread that they waive the fee but u have to wait for them to mention it.
Why not do it for Wednesday and stay for the storm?
No fee for either flight, but I did have to wait until they announced it.
Would love to stay, but SIL and his family are coming from Japan and our time with them is limited, didn't want to lose another day or two. There will always be more snow...eventually lol.
Doesn't happen often..only with really big storm threats.
Hurricane hunters flying over the Atlantic to drop and get more atmospheric data to feed the models and get better details for this potential blizzard .
