The snow storm in NYC isn't even going to be bad according to local reports. They are calling it a plowable storm meaning plow once and thats it.
So JFK and LGA and EWR shouldn't even have any trouble. Philly might.
The official advisory for WAS, not a city accustomed to large amounts of snow:
Accumulations... this storm is likely to produce 12 or more
inches of snow in the watch area... with a good chance for
localized amounts over 20 inches.
* Timing... snow is expected to begin late morning Friday...
continuing through Saturday evening.
* Temperatures... highs in the lower to mid 30s Friday. Friday
night and Saturday... temperatures will be 25 to 30 degrees.
* Winds... east 5 to 10 mph Friday and Friday night... becoming
north 10 to 20 mph Saturday. Gusts Saturday around 25 mph.
I'm in WAS.
UVAhoo06 says he's flying ex-WAS. On the 12/19 storm, DCA closed at 1100A on 12/19 (although the vast majority of flights were cancelled even earlier), and remained closed over 24 hours.
Since yesterday afternoon, NWS advisories have warned:
This storm has the potential to be similar to the December 19th
storm. Plan for substantial disruptions to travel Friday
afternoon through the weekend.
DL should get on the ball.
