Nothing yet for this Sunday/Monday, but the forecast looks for some pretty serious snow in the Seattle area. Have a connection thru SEA Monday night to a redeye. Thinking about switching to an MSP connection if/when a waiver is posted. It sucks as I got my upgrade email at T-72 today.

Anyone go thru the snow a week or so ago connecting in SEA? If so, how did DL do?

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It’s been getting warmer in Seattle. The forecast models aren’t very accurate especially in this part of the country, even 2 or 3 days out.

Thanks, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I’m mainline to mainline with a 2.5 hr connection. Just hate to get stuck in SEA overnight by missing the ATL red eye. Been there, done that.

Unless there’s fog involved...

Impacts to SEA last week seemed to take the form of mass regional cancellations the night before, with mainline flights operating albeit with significant delay. The airport did a better job than you’d expect at the actual snow removal, but deicing capacity was an issue. Multi-hour delays were common, with a few ground stops during the worst of the storms, but most people were able to get out within 24 hours of their original flight.

Here’s some discussion from yesterday on the snow probability from Cliff Mass, a respected if a bit hyperbolic local forecaster/professor: http://cliffmass.blogspot.com I’d recommend keeping an eye on his blog for further discussion as the storm details firm up; he was fairly accurate in the last round.

Cliff Mass and National Weather Service have both mentioned the possibility of snow on Sunday night but one of the better forecast models (a European one) has actually been trending warmer and wetter.

The warmer the better. Wunderground earlier today was showing 5-6” which alarmed me. Weather Channel was around 2” I think.
