Snow Day Forecast for 05-06 March

-Moderate to likely chance of 1-3" of warm snow during the day on the 5th with temperatures above freezing. Temperature forecast to fall below freezing on the morning of the 6th with ongoing precipitation.
-We will monitor runway conditions and issue FICONS as appropriate. Brief snow removal may be required on the 5th depending on the type and quantity of precipitation. Snow removal more likely near the end of the day in order to get ahead of the impending freeze.
-Runways will likely remain open on the 5th with poor conditions if precipitation falls as snow or slush. There is a slight possibility that a closure may be needed sometime during the day on the 5th for snow removal operations. There is also a moderate possibility that on the morning of the 6th residual rain and melting snow could form into an ice sheet. An ice sheet on the 6th would likely create the conditions for an RCAM closure until sufficient sun energy is available later in the day.


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.

Snow Day Forecast for 02-03 March

-Fair chance of mixed precipitation combined with above freezing temperature at the beginning of the day on the 2nd. Temperature forecast to fall below freezing on the morning of the 3rd.
-We will monitor runway conditions and issue FICONS as appropriate. Brief snow removal may be required on the 2nd depending on the type of precipitation. However, snow removal operations look unlikely.
-Runways will likely remain open on the 2nd with the possibility of poor conditions if precipitation falls as snow or slush. There is a slight possibility that a brief closure could be required sometime during the day on the 2nd. There is also a slight possibility that on the morning of the 3rd residual rain and melting snow could form into an ice sheet. It is unclear whether an ice sheet on the 3rd would create the conditions for a closure. We consider a closure on the 3rd to be a slight possibility that would likely end by ice melting away by late morning.

-We will monitor runway conditions and issue FICONS as appropriate. Brief snow removal may be required on the 2nd depending on the type of precipitation. That snow removal could be concurrent with or a brief interruption to operations.

Snow Day Forecast for 20 February

-High likelihood of rain/snow today and into the evening. Temperatures are predicted to fall below freezing on the evening of the 19th.
-We will monitor runway conditions and issue FICONS as appropriate.
-Runways are currently open. There is a slight possibility that on the morning of the 20th residual rain and melting snow could form into an ice sheet. It is unclear whether an ice sheet on the 20th would create the conditions for a closure. We consider closure on the 20th a slight possibility that would melt away by late morning if present.
