We're worrying right now because we're supposed to be flying home from Orlando to Syracuse through JFK tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. on JetBlue and all their flights are cancelled today. I called JetBlue and after a twenty minute wait time on hold with them was told that we can't get a refund until such time as they cancel our flight tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out what to do and what alternate arrangements we could make, but it looks like flights are pretty booked up. Aargh!
I just found this on syracuse.com. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow. BTW, we are only supposed to get 4 to 8 inches between 2:00 pm today and 2:00 pm tomorrow which doesn't usually slow down Hancock. Hopefully NYC will be cleaned up and back on schedule tomorrow.

Two JetBlue morning flights from Syracuse to JFK have been cancelled, according to Channel 9.
One of the flights was scheduled to leave around 6 a.m. The other was supposed to take off around 11 a.m. The two evening flights for are still on schedule.
JetBlue has cancelled a total 215 flights today because of the winter storm expected on the east coast.
An airline spokesman says the cancellations are affecting about one-third of all JetBlue flights. More than 200 of them involve flights to or from New York's Kennedy Airport.
A few flights also are being affected at New York's LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, and Boston's Logan Airport.
In addition, last night the airline canceled 15 flights.
The National Weather Service is forecasting three to six inches of snow and sleet in New York City, with more or less in its suburbs, depending on location.
The airline says it has cancelled the flights to avoid the days of cancellations and criticism that followed Valentine's Day storm last month.
