SeaTac in the snow - 2019 edition
Flying into SeaTac late tonight (11:30 PM) ... any predictions on how much impact, if any, the snow will have?
|
Check out the NWS Seattle Twitter for good information. If Sea-Tac does get any snow tonight, I would expect any delays to be Monday morning rather than tonight.
|
more issues likely for those (like me) departing on tonight's redeyes in terms of traffic getting to the airport, as well as de-icing prior to departure

snow just started (just northwest of downtown Seattle) -- big wet flakes, not sticking to anything but the grass so far
|
Flightaware reports: Seattle-Tacoma Intl is experiencing delays
|
0730 and already ground delays are 2:36, a number of cancellations but mostly its QX.
|
AS 700 7:40 am departure to PDX pushed to 11:00
Right now we have been in the plane since after our 7:10 am bus boarding. Delayed fueling, inability of tig to push in the snow, 6 planes in de-icing queue.
|
9 inches this morning in hills above Bellevue. Looks beautiful but, certainly more than the predicted 2-3 inches. Flying out tomorrow morning. Hope plows make it up here today. SEA reporting cancelled flights this morning. About 70 flights cancelled so far. |
SEA/PDX Shittle
6:00 and 7:00 am cancelled today.

@wonderlaw — nice typo in the post title :/ SEA-JFK last night (DL) pushed about 10 min late and sat for about an hour for deicing ... blocked in at T-12 for my DCA connection, but it had actually been promoted by 10 min so I got to kill 2+ hours in the JFK Sky Club waiting for the next one |
I am on the AA flight to DFW at 3:39pm (had to switch flights from AS because alternate flight was too much $). Inbound on time. Hopefully things will clear out a bit by then. I am not sure what the de-icing rules would be. If precip has stopped for a preceding amount of time and aircraft is clear of snow/ice, is de-icing needed? I look forward to getting to Dallas and 75-80 degree weather right now.

I thought this was more of an issue affecting PDX...forecasters are saying the snow arrives around 8pm tonight....should be an interesting Monday morning commute :) |
Glad I'm going through PDX today ^
