And what is the point of this?

Thanks Dylan, I was working and a lot of overseas flights were worried about their alternates, not very often do you have 0 vis with a 27kt breeze.....the point of this? apparently wasted.

That was the first thing that popped into my head when I read it. Fog and zero vis with 27 kt winds???

And what do you do for a living Steve? You a dispatcher? Next time I go to KTEB, lets have a beer.

Work for ARINC, handle all the comms for ATC over the North Atlantic, Carribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Previously a controller at NY center until my career was cut short in 1981.

59 degree temp with a south wind off the cold ocean and JFK located right on the water will do it.

Pop me PM next time your in the area. Overfly KTEB and land KISP.
