Why wouldn't there be weather issues in New York in February?

My worst fears are coming true. We're supposed to depart for the airport later today and what do I find when I get to work? Flights to LGA are delayed by an hour and increasing due to wind/weather. We don't have a very big window to get from LGA to JFK, so I am getting very nervous.

Angela's mom got here the other day without issue and we're all packed up and checked in to our flights, and now it looks like it will be dicey to get on our plane to Dubai. Deep breaths.
