Update On The Three Best Sites For Tracking The Cyclone Bomb -- January 29, 2022

Updates

Later, 6:00 p.m. CT: the "cyclone bomb" remains settles in off shore Boston.Wow, wow, wow -- flights are starting to arrive back in Boston. This storm lasted less than twelve hours, at least as far as the airlines were concerned. They started canceling flights earlier but that was to get aircraft positioned in proper airports. Flights are also arriving New York.

Earlier I said these were the best three sites for tracking the nor'eastern, Winter Storm Kenanf:

The winds: one can pick any point on the globe, to get wind speed, direction and exact GPS coordinates.

ISO NE, of course: https://www.iso-ne.com/isoexpress/web/charts.

• at the linked site, fine “fuel mix”;
• click on “renewables”
• note wind component
• % renewable  times % wind = % wind component

Flight radar here: https://www.flightradar24.com/36.22,-75.43/6. At the time I am updating this, there is one plane "stranded" at Logan Airport (Boston). 

THIS IS SO COOL. Updated at 3:21 p.m. CT, Saturday, January 29, 2022.

I just checked the three sites.

1. The "cyclone' is now just to the east of Boston, having moved from off-shore North Carolina overnight.

2.  There remains one stranded airplane at Logan airport. This has not changed from overnight.

3. There are but a handful of stranded planes at Newark and at JFK but most amazing, while checking Flight Radar for this update, a Bombardier Global 6000 (GLEX) was headed from the northwest (over Pennsylvania) headed into Newark when it literally -- in front of my eyes while watching Flight Radar -- was diverted, making a sharp left turn toward White Plains, NY. It had been on a 120° heading (heading southeast) when it abruptly turned to the northeast on a 45° heading. Pretty amazing to see that live on a random observation. Right now I see plane (call sign N408GJ) having just departed Newark, with a heading due south, 180° and now turning to the southwest, along the coast, over central New Jersey. That plane is a private plane, with flight plans from Teterboro Airport (New Jersey, 12 miles from midtown Manhattan) to Raleigh-Durham.

There is a Lear Jet en route to NYC.

It appears that another plane (XAJCZ) was also headed to Newark and was suddenly diverted and is now headed toward JFK. This is a US Customs and Immigration Enforcement aircraft. Nope, it appears it returned to Teterboro. And that aforementioned GLEX aircraft appears to have landed at Teterboro also.
