mamaofami Posted January 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There are already hundreds of flights cancelled at the three major NYC airports. This storm is going to cause major airport shutdowns along the east coast and it will be several days before things get back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Boston's Logan will also be problematic. We are expecting 6-10" of snow starting early evening in the Boston area. Cape Cod is predicted to get a foot or more. There will be travel delays through tomorrow into Thursday. I hope no CC'ers planned to fly from Northeast to catch cruises today or tomorrow. Stay safe everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted January 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2014 PHL, BWI and IAD all will see delays. We're gong to get 8" or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted January 21, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's been snowing in the New Jersey area since 10AM and the storm isn't supposed to start in earnest until 2PM.Lots of accumulation expected here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1of4 Posted January 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2014 YYZ (Toronto) is clear but very cold...too cold to snow so there are some issues with because of that and the flights going to the airports experiencing the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ippyndad Posted January 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Think we (dw) and i are safe going out on 3/27 for Maasdam leaving on the 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We were supposed to have gotten only 1 -3 inches. So 5 inches now and it is still snowing. Flights from Pittsburgh to New York and DC have been cancelled. Flights that were to start in Philly and head this way to go south -- they are delayed -- which seems strange to me.

Rare puppycanducruise Posted January 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It has certainly been a cold snowy winter (so far). Maybe February will be better. Safe travels everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 21, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Think we (dw) and i are safe going out on 3/27 for Maasdam leaving on the 27th. I certainly hope your flight goes without delay but we certainly can get snow end of March. It is not rare to have snow into early April. No use worrying now..... there is nothing you can do about it but it's always a good idea to consider flying at least one day ahead of embarkation day if you can do that. Peace of mind.......

mamaofami Posted January 21, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Think we (dw) and i are safe going out on 3/27 for Maasdam leaving on the 27th. Personally, I would never take that chance. There are so many reasons for flight delays at all times of the year. My peace of mind as I start a vacation is very important. I want to be sure to make the ship.

innlady1 Posted January 21, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We're flying out on Thursday...I certainly hope Logan is open and JetBlue is flying. Otherwise, I guess we will rent a car and drive...I may even check into the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ippyndad Posted January 22, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sail7 you are right on both counts, we can have snow in March and i don't know if i am anxious or had a senior moment but, embarkation is on the 28th. We do fly out one day early since you suggested to me once before Also Gigianne i will be joining roll call and meet and greet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 22, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Last thing we heard there were over 1500 flights cancelled in the U.S. Schools closed here in advance of the storm. It is upon us now and due to our location, we are supposed to get the worst of the storm and blizzard. We can only hope that the weatherman is wrong - but it doesn't look like it so far. And to top it off, it is very cold. Too cold. What happened to the theory that it had to be warmer to snow? What a winter. I hope everyone with upcoming cruises manages to get there in time and wish them all safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted January 22, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Blame it on the weather. We were in that group of 70 million who got hacked in Target, and we're still waiting for replacement credit cards! We leave in a week and a day. Hoping they get here in time!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 22, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The towns and cities a few miles south of Boston got 12"+ snow but Boston and just north of Boston got only about 3-4" of snow. Schools and many places closesd in advance of the storm based on predictions. Many were needless as many areas did not get snowfall close to requiring all the closures. Oh well, better safe than sorry especially when it comes to the children. When I was out earlier, the temperature was 8 degrees F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
