Also, as turn times become shorter (35mins) brake energy/cooling is also a [secondary] consideration.
Is brake cooling as much of a factor when there is an extremely heavy snowfall?

Some passengers reported that they couldn't even see the runway for all the snow after evacuating the plane.

The turn around time may have been more than 35 minutes regardless based on the weather.
