ZNY CTLR IS FRUSTRATED WITH LACK OF COORD WITH IAD REF WX CONDITIONS.

Narrative

I WAS WORKING HYPER SECTOR IN ZNY NOV/MON/03. AT XA00 WHILE WORKING THE FIRST 9 ARRS TO IAD APCH; I WAS TOLD BY IAD APCH TO 'HOLD ALL ACFT; RVR 1600 FT.' THIS PLACED ME IN AN INSTANT HOLD SIT; ALSO SECTORS 26; 27; 39; 92; 91 IN ZNY. ZBW ALSO HELD; I'M SURE. WHAT DISTURBS ME MOST IS THE LACK OF COM IAD HAD WITH ZNY. NO ONE IN ZNY HAD ANY IDEA THAT THE RVR WOULD DROP THIS MORNING. 6 SECTORS WERE INSTANTLY PUT INTO HOLDING SITS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COSTLY FOR THE AIRLINES. THE HOLDING LASTED 90 MINS. ACFT DIVERTED FROM IAD HOLDING TO AVP; MDT; ORF; GSO. THE DISRUPTION OF PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THE COST OF THESE OPS WERE HUGE. A GND STOP OF IAD TFC WAS FINALLY PUT IN; BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THIS TFC DEPARTS EARLY IN THE MORNING. IAD DOESN'T CALL ABOUT THE ARR PROBS; NO ONE STOPS THE DEPS ON THE GND. YET; NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT THE SIT; NO MENTION IN FACILITY LOGS ABOUT PROBS WITH COM BTWN IAD/ZNY; NO MEETINGS HELD TO FIND OUT HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. THIS WILL ALL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN; MORE PEOPLE WILL DEPART ALB TO IAD AND END UP IN GSO!
