I've always thought of it as 'cold as....' But another I heard way back in the dark ages when doing the CFS course wasfrom our USAF squadron commander, who referred to an icy runway as 'slippery as owl !!!!!'. Never heard it used before or since! Anyone else?
I heard a good ol' boy USAF Lt Col up in Keflavik describe the runway as "
slicker than owlsh1t"..
I never had an opportunity to use it myself though subsequently...
