Practical IFR Question (for centre controllers)

FWIW, there's a lot of talk on the news weather segments about a very
large storm with a deep low forming right over eastern MA (BOS)
dumping 6+" of snow, including snow right in downtown BOS (strange for
this time of year, the ocean ususally makes it a rain event in the
city and snow west). The storm is coming up from the south, and it's
not getting here til late Fri and is supposed to go Sat and through
part of Sun. Looks like it's going to be very windy behind it, and
it's already snowing hard in VA.......

Thanks for the warning. So far, the weather guesses say that Sunday should
be a good day to fly all the way down, but I'll keep an eye on it. I don't
mind flying in snow, as long as it's not the soggy, ice-forming type and
visibility is adequate for an approach (my personal IFR minima are Canadian
alternate minima, so I want at least a 400 ft ceiling and 1 statue mile
visibility in the TAF for my ETA at KPHL, without a downward trend).


All the best,
