    So far they're saying it's not the result of a cyberattack. With this administration, not sure if they would tell the truth if they know it.

      CNN was interviewing IL Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (House Intelligence Committee), who said the National Weather Service is experiencing nationwide internet service problems.

        Ugh. First half the world stops because they can't access their email, and now this....

        I'm supposed to fly next week for a conference. I'm already hesitant because I'm still not recovered from the effects of covid, but this really makes me want to stay home!

            yeah, I’ve got a flight booked for Tuesday morning. I guess I’ll watch the news and see which clears up first, the air traffic or the roads in the Sierras for the mountain drive.

              Updated info:

              The National Weather Service was not experiencing a nationwide outage on Friday despite rumors saying otherwise, officials said.

              On Friday, Nov. 13, a member of WBTV’s local National Weather Service office confirmed that there was a regional issue with weather radios. The issue was not widespread, the official told WBTV on Friday evening.

                @jon-nyc not yet. But by the time I’m scheduled to fly it will be close to 14 days since my positive test.

                I went to the doc yesterday — I have a middle ear infection in one ear, plus presumably a sinus infection, and for the last several days I’ve been constantly nauseous and dizzy.

                The “acute” phase of Covid is basically over I think, but if this secondary infection doesn’t resolve, it’s probably not a good idea to fly.

                  My son is supposed to go to Germany for a really fabulous work/pleasure trip next week. I haven't heard whether or not his family is planning to go. It will be awful if this messes things up for him.

                    Flying home from NOLA Tuesday. Hope it’s cleared up by then. The most interesting thing I’ve read so far is this blurb:

                    Meanwhile, Air Space Intelligence, the AI tech startup that is a vendor for the FAA on its new SMART system for air traffic control, insisted its software was not responsible for nationwide ground stop.

                    “I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer”
                    ― Douglas Adams

                        From CNN.

                        The Federal Aviation Administration told airlines the nationwide outages that prompted the ground stop were the result of a problem with network routers, according to an airline source.

                        The problem is believed to have started at Chicago Midway International Airport and cascaded nationwide.

                        Some airports are already reporting being saturated with flights on the ground that cannot take off.

                          Apparently they have identified and fixed the problem. Ground stop has been lifted, as of 8:15 ET.

                            Press conference with Duffy (Transportation) and Mullin (DHS). Mullin said that the FAA was patching some new stuff in to the existing system and it overwhelmed the old portions of the system. Not sure what he's talking about, but that's what he said.

                            The President (who is a builder - Mullin's comment) says they need $50 billion to build a completely new system because this patching stuff in doesn't work.

                            Oy.
