Flying to Boston on Friday- chances of delays etc?

Anonymous
Planning to fly to Boston on Friday- does anyone know if I might be affected by the storms?
From what I heard New England might have some snow/rain/ice on Thursday; how good is the chance it will be all on track by Friday night?

OP again- I am flying from the west coast so mostly worried about the destination, not the origin f flight

I think you will be fine. DC will have a day to recover and boston is great at snow removal at Logan.

OP here- thanks all, just got an alert from the airline saying I could change or cancel my flight without fees- basically they predict snow for feb 12-14, should I maybe change to feb 15?

My family is in Boston and the latest forecasts seem to have the city itself in OK shape - they will get hit Thursday but the city is likely to get more rain than snow. Further west it looks like 6 inches, which is nothing by Boston standards.

OP here- the airline offered free reservation changes so I changed to Saturday (it was more expensive before, ironic)- I am sure the flight will be packed...and they will prob have almost no one on Friday, ha.

we are in boston and the weather doesn't look bad-only inland but it doesn't really matter bc your original flight could be delayed-especially if the plane is in the storm path and that will set off a series of delays-no matter how good the conditions in Boston are. I would reschedule bc there will be so many delays/cancellations south of Boston that a snowball effect is very likely. I would rather be confident about my schedule but that is me. There are no warnings posted here right now-just a "watch" Have a safe flight!

Good thing you switched. The weather will probably be okay Friday but airlines won't have much luck moving planes in on Thursday to be ready.
