The national weather service has issued a winter storm warning for southern Nevada.

These storms have already hit N.California, pretty much closing SFO/OAK

Also..if you go to LIVEATC.net and scroll down to the KSFO feed you can here what is going on right now...it is a total cluster f**k in the bay area right now, flights are diverting all over the place, wind sheer warnings, micro bursts...glad I am not flying into the bay area..

Now could someone please tell me why VX decided to base out of SFO ?

God, how sad are we?.....

Sounded like they picked up a little ice on approach.

Ground is manic though.

Long time since I listened in to ATC and forgot how facinating it is. Shame LHR don't have live feed.
