Snow storm causes Air traffic woes on North East USA

As we bask in the sunshine of another glorious Friday morning in the Caribbean, spare a thought for the residents of and travellers to the North East coast of the USA as they brace for a giant snow storm. As the Flightaware.com website shows, the usually busy skies in this area are void of traffic as thousands of flights have been cancelled or diverted to alternate airports. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is closed until later this morning.

For example South Africa Airways flight 203 from Dakar Senegal (GOOY) diverted to Washington Dulles International (KIAD) after circling numerous times.
