So does anyone know how many flights have been canceled in/out of MSP the past few days?

I'm currently on my third day in a row of having my schedule completely pulled.

Anyone else enjoying some time off?

On Monday morning, August 13, Runway 12R/30L at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport will close for reconstruction of the middle 3,100 feet of pavement. The runway is expected to remain closed through mid-October. During this time, the Federal Aviation Administration will redistribute air traffic to the remaining three runways, and residents living around the airport might notice a change in flight paths. Specifically, residents living under the landing paths for Runway 17 over Minneapolis and Runway 22 over St. Paul can expect a noticeable increase in the number of aircraft using those runways. Also, residents of Mendota Heights are likely to notice more aircraft taking off to the southeast from Runway 12L/30R, during this two-month period.

The project is not expected to impact flight schedules or to cause significant delays.

Right.

I don't have a Jepp book in front of me but if I remember right the WX minimums for converging approaches in MSP is 600-2. With a parallel rnwy closed when the wx goes below that the airport goes down to one runway for arrivals. Early fall is statisticly the best WX for MSP.

30% from what i have heard the last couple of days.

If the weather is less than 1700 foot ceilings or 4sm, they will only be landing one runway. The past few days they have been landing 12L. Interesting watching an A-330 landing on 8200ft.
