Aaahhh, the joys of winter travel. I checked my flight earlier for my seat number and saw the waiver notice. ORD-EWR early Monday morning flight. If this flight doesn’t leave on time, it won’t be worth it to travel as I was scheduled to fly back Tuesday. I’ll be more productive from home then sitting at the airport for hours waiting for a flight to finally depart. Plus, I’d rather not make it out east only to get caught with delays when it’s time to come back. May just take this as an unused ticket for another time.

The forecast has changed not seeing any snow today say NYC and BOS yet you scared people into changing from Sunday to Monday when weather will be worse but not terrible. So you should fly today which is a busy day. Weather is not an exact science.

Snerk. I find the use of weather and science in the same sentence laughable. Especially when trying to time a flight.

started snowing in BOS right now .... as forecasted. We'll see how we get. Suburbs expecting 9-12 inches now .... yuck ... that'll be some shoveling.

Check the inbound. Most INTL flights fly right back to the US right arrival at the international destination. If it is already in the air now to where you are scheduled to fly tomorrow, then your chances would be better. Good luck.
