Perhaps saskatoon 9999 should be offered a a job in Ops i/c the snow plan!
Clearing snow and slush from airfields, particularly manoeuvring areas and aprons, to the exacting standards demanded today, is no easy task!
Equipment extremely expensive and relatively rarely used; if the snow is still falling the task is more difficult; if there is any wind, the problem is exacerbated even further; unable to use salt and the liquid de-icer/anti-icer is quickly diluted; serious limitations on acceptable snow banks; visual aids must be cleared etc etc.
Beating the weather is a difficult task.............
