Bit of a fallacy there - Amsterdam was chaotic last week apparently, with huge deicing queues. A friend was sat on a KLM flight for over 3 hours as they awaited their turn. The circumstances were understandable, but no one has lines of 100s of deicers/snow ploughs etc poised at many airports south of Scandinavia!
