Anyone have any idea how long this will effect DCA? Last year's storm took us out of commission for quite awhile. Any guesses/insights?

Would you recommend trying to get out on Sunday rather than chancing it with a mid morning flight on Monday?

TIA
DCA usually deals reasonably well with snow clearance. Last year was an anomaly because with four feet of snow in such a short period, they literally ran out of places to put it given their geographic constraints.

The amount of snow being predicted right now won't cause those kinds of problems.

That being said, if you have to be somewhere Monday or for Tuesday AM and can get a seat out today, I'd do it just to be on the safe side.
