Did a winter in Helsinki and they may hardly ever smile but they sure know how to shift snow. Think they used 15-20 miles slot in traffic to do a runway. I was very impressive watching 5 of everything going for it.
And gonzo is correct landing on a white strip in -20 with the approprate performance penalties is quite a suprising experence (certainly not a bad one). In fact our home based runway only got cleared when the glass ice built up to such an extent that the cutter thing that chops grooves into ICE couldn't deal with it. Only bum twitcher was getting to your car.
