MD11 restrictions

Was wondering if anybody has any specifics for the MD-11F aircraft with
regards to t/o restrictions at altitude, SLC specifically, with more than
1" of snow forcast or on the ground. Have been told that the aircraft
can not operate without severe weight restrictions and in fact have diverted
from SLC because of these conditions. Can anybody clarify the restrictions in regards to these specific criteria? Seems they have to get a special dispensation from the FAA to operate.
