This is nothing out-of-the-ordinary. They stayed for the normal amount of time. Another flight will be there soon.

Yes the aircraft can take measurements itself. They normally just extrapolate the surface conditions from the flight level.

As, recon also does missions during the winter of storms over the north.

There's really no need to do a recon if a storm is over land, especially in the US where there are plenty of observing stations along the coast.

Excuse me? Last report? Oh, I guess they can't do this when the storm is approaching land, is that it?
