I reckon that there was a strong "fly in event" mentality at Tempelhof where nobody wanted to be seen to be a wimp.
Er actually the weather was CAVOK at templehoff, mid 20's temp and not a cloud in the sky. Those that were not all weather capable chose to stay extra time and some are still not back.
Those of us with IR's, CFIKI etc. chose to come back within the privileges of our licenses and the basis of our currency.
