Snow Day Forecast for 2 April


Weather Forecast Overview

There will be precipitation overnight and temperatures will probably fall below freezing on the 2nd. There will be sunshine and rising temperatures late morning on the 2nd.

Airport Operations and Runway Status

We anticipate that runways will remain warm enough to melt any snow that falls overnight. We will shut down monitoring this evening with a FICON for wet runways and will reassess tomorrow at 0630.

Summary of Runway Closure Possibilities

It is unlikely, but still possible that runways might be closed due to snow accumulation early on the 2nd. If a closure is required it will very likely melt away before mid day and likely not require snow removal operations..

Note: This information is a forecast and actual conditions may change. Our forecast should be used to indicate when trouble may be encountered in order to add extra caution to your flight planning. If we indicate a runway closure may be imminent and you wish to get out before the closure then call dispatch. Stay abreast of approved weather forecasting and reporting as well as NOTAMS

Runway Availability: This means one runway, a parallel taxiway, and reasonable access to a ramp. Full runway and taxiway access, services, and access to hangars will happen after a runway has been made available. Sometimes a day or more will be required to provide full access.

Hangar Row Availability

We have gotten reasonable access to all hangar rows however there will remain scattered snow debris and possible thin ice until we have another few days of sun.

Alpha Row West (evens #s) is somewhat limited by a snow berm in the jet ramp, use extra caution.

Snow Day Update

53" of snow has fallen in this recent event. Airport staff have been doing little else than snow removal. As of 19 February, we are poised to open on the first day without snowfall hopefully that will be the 20th. Once we have a clear day the runways will need several hours of sun to melt off ice.

Plans are to begin polishing the runways, ramp and taxiways and grooming shoulders. We hope to be opening for flight operation on the afternoon of the 20th.

We have not yet addressed hangar rows and they still hold over four feet of snow in some places. We will start working on hangars as soon as we have both runways open. Depending on the pace of operations on the ramp it may take two to three days to completely clear the hangar rows.

Be sure to log your hangar priority requests and please be patient knowing that we are working on nothing else but snow removal.

Snow Day Forecast for 16-18 Feb

Weather Forecast Overview

There is a very good chance for more than 12" of snow on the 16th and perhaps more on the 17th. There is a chance that snow falls continuously the rest of the week.

Airport Operations and Runway Status

There is a good possibility that runways will be closed on the morning of the 16th for snow removal operations. If snow falls as heavily as predicted Airport response will be initially to spend time in continual removal operations rather than runway opening efforts. Snow reduction efforts will continue until a weather pattern opens up that would provide for a full day without snow. It may take one to two days after the first runway opening to clear all the hangar rows.

Summary of Runway Closure Possibilities

16th: There is a very likely chance the runways will need to be closed on the morning of the 16th for snow removal operations, closure will likely last 24 hrs or more.
17th: There is a good chance that runways will be closed for 24 hours.
18th: Runways are liklely to be closed at the beginning of the 18th, there is a possibility that we are able to get one runway open by the afternoon if conditions permit.

Note: This information is a forecast and actual conditions may change. Our forecast should be used to indicate when trouble may be encountered in order to add extra caution to your flight planning. If we indicate a runway closure may be imminent and you wish to get out before the closure then call dispatch. Stay abreast of approved weather forecasting and reporting as well as NOTAMS
