Misery Mounts As Airline Delays & Cancellations Surge On East Coast
As of 1220ET, 505 flights have been cancelled in the US today (and 1,731 additional flights are subject to delays) as airlines both pre-emptively and reactively prepare for the worst case nor'easter due to hit the East Coast any hour now. Chicago O'Hare is subject to the most flight delays, followed by New York's JFK. Newark, Laguardia, and Philadeplhia airports are seeing the most cancellations currently.

And it looks set to get worse, much worse... (as accuweather reports)
A storm with rain, heavy snow, low clouds and poor visibility will cause major disruptions and delays for Thanksgiving travel on the East Coast and in the Appalachians into Wednesday night.
Enough rain, low clouds and fog will occur to lead to airline and highway delays ahead of the snow.
In anticipation of delays or cancellations, several airlines, including US Airways, American and Delta, have announced they will waive change fees for passengers scheduled to fly into airports in the line of the storm.
According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "In most cases, the worst time to travel in the mid-Atlantic and New England due to the storm will be on Wednesday and Wednesday night."
Rain will initially spread northward along the Interstate-95 with snow and rain to start farther west in the I-81 corridor. However, a change to snow will take place from west to east from northern Virginia to New England.
The storm will bring mostly snow to the I-81 swath in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, I-84 in southeastern New York state, as well as much of interior New England, where a general 6-12 inches of snow are forecast.
"The storm should rapidly strengthen off the coast of New England on Wednesday night, leading to strong and gusty winds, especially near the coast," stated AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Ben Noll as he discussed the impacts in this storm scenario.
Problems due to blowing and drifting snow will be the greatest in northern and western New England. Farther south, winds will not be strong enough and the snow will be too wet for substantial blowing and drifting.

As bad a sale day at the livestock auction......
Must. Stop. Global. Warming.
Can you imagine being STUCK in NY or Washington DC!?!?
My heart goes out to those poor souls (and their wallets).

Hey Fat AL
I thought snow was to be a thing of the past, LOL

(Dr,. David Viner: " in a few years snow will be a rare and exciting event)
Oh but wait!
Just call Uber you stuck-tards!
How am I going to get to my important global warming conference now?
Room at a seedy motel in a sketchy area: $300
Breakfast, or Lunch, or Dinner: $75
Taxi: $50, Tips: $100.
Mugging: every $ left.
Thxgv: "priceless".
the east coast sucks. I was born and lived there for a most of my youth.
just look at the stats for ferguson riots: most of them were (are) east of the mississippi. when this economy goes full-tilt toilet bound, that's the last place you'd want to be, that, and of course the west coast.
This is a good observation and was the only good question I heard asked about this far from surprising....well, Uprising for lack of a better word....namely "the number of outsiders" who were involved in this.
I highly doubt it was "just a bunch of folks from the East." Certainly this was a well chosen "target location" however. Always remeber that scene in the movie A Few Good Men where Tom Cruise "asks himself" why he would get a case when he is a lawyer with zero court room experience.
Obviously the answer to him was just as obvious....
Here's something to watch while your at the airport.

Keep stacking!
Get a hotel room, a bottle of scotch, and find "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles" to rent.

Chicago is THE WORST [next to NYC] places to fly thru. I used to fly thru there once amonth on business and 60% of the time [yes, i counted] the flights were del;ayed due to -- snow, ice, wind, broken something, pilot woke up late, etc. Luckily they had great restaurants there and there was no long line TSA bullshit at the time so you could go out, eat and get back for the revised flight pretty quick.
When you start looking at philosophy, start thinking, start writing, start spreading the word... You have have done a Revolutionary act.
Thinking Independently is an act of Sedition.

Stay the fuck home. FaceTime your loved ones on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. Go visit them after the Holidays to show them that you want to see them, not that you're obligated to. Don't participate in the system. Don't buy Christmas presents this year. Don't send Hallmark cards. Send your loved ones a hand-written letter telling them how important they are to you and how much you love them. Donate money to a children's charity in somebody's name and let them know you did it.
The Matrix sucks. Unplug from it.
Yep, pretty much the same I've done. They corruption doesn't stop until the money stops flowing. Vote with your wallet, because the other kind doesn't work.
Ooh, I actually just thought of a great Christmas gift...buy the most important people in your life a 1oz Silver Eagle and tell them why.
I do most of my xmas shopping at garage sales where you can find something worth $100.00 for a buck. All kinds of things that were made back when manufacturing was solid. Homework may be required.
PS no freakin sales tax for the state crooks.
And if you know how to use buffing compounds you can compound the return on your garage sale investment.
But one has to make the investment in knowledge and experience first, which is why if you can pass on the wisdom that comes from knowledge and experience- it is one of the most valuable gifts that can be given.
No no no Meat Hammer..
Buy your loved ones a nice SKS and a case of ammo and tell them WHY!
Mackelmore's 'Thrift Shop' song is playing heavily on the radio this shopping season...replacing 'White Christmas', which is racist anyway...
"I'm gonna pop some tags, only got 20 dollars in my pocket"
I know how to get all the family together every Thanksgiving. I tell them I’m going to discuss the Will. Odd, that seems to get them all running home … FAST !
[ and suddenly very polite and friendly, too ... little do they know I lost everything in a tragic boating accident ]
I give all my relations 5 silver eagles each for Christmas. Been doing that the last few years. 12 people total.
Rebellion, uprising, or insurrection is a refusal of obedience or order.[1] On the one hand the forms of behaviour can include non-violent methods such as the (overlapping but not quite identical) phenomena of civil disobedience, civil resistance and nonviolent resistance.

Meat and Teeth,
For what it is worth, your posts made my very shitty day a LOT brighter.
Thanks!
Yup...I'm not spending a dime on Christmas, its just another day to me.
As a child I couldn't wait for Christmas. All the stores decked out in Xmas spirit and Santa somewhere inside. Lots of fun.
Now, little to no decorations, one little spot for 'seasonal crap' and saying Merry Christmas could get an employee fired.
But, oh pulease Mr customer, come in buy my wares say these assholes.
UP YOURS BABY!
Hell, yeah! Fuck Retail!
Buy PMs!
For one of the very few times in my life, I'm glad I'm anchored here in Pittsburgh, PA. Unless something unforeseen occurs, I have no commitments, no places to be or people to see.
I'm thankful for that.
Ridiculous...I'm in the Northeast and the snow ( rain mix ) is not even sticking to the ground, if anything it feels as if its actually warming up a little temperature wise.
The Government weather wo/men are just as bloated with Propaganda and media hype. My biggest fear is the Born and Bred Dopes on the road...its amazing how dumb people have become, its like they all landed from another planet six years ago...
Backdoor Barry wants you YTs stuck in the airport so his minions can attack!
The weather hysteria is really astounding, just getting worse with each passing year.
The nightly news, every night, has some dramatic "weather!" headline, with a hot weather babe to breathlessly tell us about heat in Summer, wind and leaves in the Fall, cold and snow in the Winter, and wind and late frosts in the Spring.
Imagine that, weather on a planet that rotates and has a tilting axis and orbits a sun in the vacuum of space!
6 yrs ago. BHO happened 6 yrs. ago, too.
Looks like poor Canadians invade good ol' US.
And the american gestapo police stand ready to confiscate their cash.
Come on Down!
Fuck the airlines until they get rid of the TSA.
Ding ding ding! I salute you, Colonel.
Don't feed the beast!
Haven't flown since the people with a latex glove fetish took over.
I flew once since 2001, in 2003. Never again. Never give discount mall cops a real badge & power.
My last flight was on BHO's inauguration day. Illegal enhanced pat downs were announced right after that.
it's good for gdp, expect 4% in 4th quarter
This East Coast storm is going to play holy hell with everyone traveling. " An odd northward hot air surge ahead of the next blow. One that will be fueled by a similar, out of the ordinary, Arctic heat-up that is predicted to fling a freakish Thanksgiving snowstorm at the US East Coast on Wednesday."
Our cold and snow is thanks to warm Pacific air flooding north over the actic and pushing the cold air pocket south over the Eastern USA. Like last year. Record heat at the pole, means record cold and snow down here! Enjoy it folks! Looks like last year all over again. FUCK!
Well, guess we know where NOAA will place all their temp monitors telling us how hot it is in the Arctic.
:))
"Minion, have our protestors attack YT while he is stuck in the airports! With my pen and phone, I can create further delays!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
What I like about American Main Stream media is the fact that they have totally ceased to report real news to America. When I was a kid, the radio and TV would all be giving the news on this storm, breaking reports, weather men talking about it every hour. Real up to date forecasts. Now days. FUCK ALL! Jabbering about coloresd folks and cops and US genreals issuing threats and demands at Russia and Donbass. All kinds of commercials about not being able to get a hardon, being blind and having sleep difficulties, needing to sue over vaginal mesh or asbestos, or adult diapers. Jesus what a fucking joke!
Yet millions of travelers need some real information and can't get it. It really is the internet age, fuck TV all to hell, it is useless shit. My computer and a high speed connection does a very important job, it removes the Main Stream Media as gate keeper of what I can watch, hear or learn. No wonder government is hell bent on shutting down and taking control of what internet we have now. The Washington DC crowd must really, really fucking hate the internet!
I'm not to sure about warm air in the Arctic, it's currently -18C in Barrow, AK
DaddyO
Don't forget to add Ebola exposure potential to all your holiday travel plans, that's still an ongoing agenda
"Reggie, take these vials down to Dulles and splash the contents around."
"OK."
"Here, use these rubber gloves."
Ahhh,,, tis time of year for amerikans to stand in lines with shoes in hand waiting to get DP'd.
Can you FEEL the safety asks the officer to the little boy... and the parents smile with pride and approval.
Aye, it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, especially the bairns. It's a' about the weans, bless 'em.
Putin must be to blame. /sarc
Cry me a snowbank.
More time at home to polish the guns.
Yankee Go Home! Oh, that's right, you did. Thank You. This Southerner loves, loves, LOVES this story, repeated nearly every year.
Who the gruber expects Thanksgiving weather to be travel-friendly?? What the gruber are they thinking when they buy a ticket for T-day?? There hasn't been a T-day in 50 grubering years that you could fly out of grubering NY, Boston, or Chicago. there are some real gruberfaces out there.
Costa Rica has great weather right now. (all year really) bring your shorts and suntan lotion and come on down.
Plenty of beaches, nature, animals, monkeys and freindly people.
Book now and visit us. You may want to stay and enjoy cheap healthcare (but high quality) , fresh fruit, seafood and veggys and so much more.
Lots of expats here even though we are not on Simons go to list.
Bullish... in a Krugmanesque way.
