Logan closed through Wednesday morning

Hope nobody is flying into Logan airport for UTC. The airport is closed until at least 4 AM, all from 2-4" of snow.

Luckily I didn't leave for the airport on time or I'd be stuck in Oakland for the night right now.

Hopefully this doesn't effect FIRST staff leaving either.

I doubt it's the snow, more the wind. I think it's safe to call this the second day of the ides of March, at least in the northeast.

The airport in Boston closes for 2-4" of snow? And people in New England say they can deal with snow!

And I'll take this off-topic even moreso. The Ides of March is March 15. It was just the standard way of referring to the 15th of a month in the Latin of Julius Caesar's day.

Re: Logan closed through Wednesday morning

I don't know bout you Matt... but I'd rather them shut the airport down then trying to land a big brick going at several hundred mph into 2-4" of mushy frozen sloshy stuff. Heh. A car can handle it, but it just seems like it'd be pretty tricky in a plane to do and still be very safe, as well as the winds.

Re: Logan closed through Wednesday morning

well its now wednesday, and for the past oh...9 hours its been snowin like a banshee here in Concord ( state capitol of NH ). it hasnt been the snow...its been the WIND!!!! for that past hour its been hitting probably 70mph gusts. CRAZY...the reason its probably closed is because of the insane drifts that are gonna be forming when the wind ends. god i love this!

It's not as if they don't plow the runways.

Besides, I'd trust the reverse thrust of those really big turbofan engines over brakes that don't do a lick of a good when your tire is sliding.

My understanding was that it's also three very windy days on or around the 15th of March. A bit early, but it's close.

Re: Logan closed through Wednesday morning

We're all suffering here in CT from the winds and snow/ice this morning... BUT unless we get another big storm on Saturday (start your NO SNOW chanting now please) we will STILL have the tailgating breakfast in the parking lot Saturday morning!

It's all the 40mph winds drifting the snow and making the landings a little hairy.

Its horrible here in NEPA. Power on/off quite frequently due to 50mph+ winds during the night.

... to all of you like myself getting to make the long trek across I-80, be safe out there......

Re: Logan closed through Wednesday morning

I have a feeling it's not only the snow and wind, but also a bunch of ice, Perhaps???

Actually it's the wind. I was literally leaning backwards but didn't fall because the wind was pushing me. You know there is problems when you have to walk into the wind to keep going straight.
