The weather gods have it in for me

DXing wrote:Not much fun taking off or landing in the NE tonight. EWR departures were shut down for quite awhile due to crosswinds higher than guide line limits for several airlines. LGA had part of a hangar roof blow off and had the same problem EWR did, lots of pilot refusals to takeoff due to crosswinds. Landings were sporadic but go arounds weren't. Not going to be much better tomorrow for the TATL arrivals.
