Maybe another waiver a few days after.

Have a quick turn to the east coast just after this one, and back out west before the next one. Should be okay, but will plan accordingly.

Ouch.

Not in town but getting reports from locals the storm was largely a non-event.

Traumatised by the last storm, I imagine.

That said, EWR is pretty heavily banked these days, so the UC I think tends to be empty between about 10a and 1p (i.e. between banks).

It was a decent event. I'm a wxguy Big swath of 6-9 inches across the NYC metropolitan area. Remember, it's just not the accumulating snow, but also reduced visibility and wind that slows down ATC.

That would be a polite way of saying it, especially after having a state of emergency called two days out.
