Snow storm expected in north-east U.S. Lots of cancellations!

Post by sn26567 »

A heavy snow storm is expected in the north-eastern U.S. tomorrow. Hundreds of flights have already been cancelled in that region: 32% of JetBlue flights cut today, 59% for Tuesday already.

Flights from/to Europe are also involved: Finnair cancels AY005 and AY006 to/from New York today and tomorrow. Monday's EI109 DUB-JFK and EI108 JFK-DUB are also cancelled. EI also cancels flights to Boston. British Airways today cancelled seven flights from London Heathrow to New York and one to Boston and said passengers should expect delays tomorrow. Virgin Atlantic has cancelled three London to New York flights today, as well as one tomorrow morning, and two flights to Boston.

More than 5,000 flights have been cancelled as a "potentially historic blizzard" bears down on the US north-east coast.

New York, Boston and Philadephia are expected to be deluged by heavy snow from later today.

Widespread disruption has been forecast — Boston Logan airport will reportedly close this evening until Wednesday and flights to the region are likely to be cancelled or delayed over the next few days.

It appears that the weather forecasts for New York were largely exaggerated. New York is almost back to normal. But further north it's a different story. Boston is affected (all runways are posted as CLOSED until noon WEDNESDAY), as well as other New England states.
