Seconded.
I believe that Norway is also quite good at winter operations -- where I fly there's been snow/ice/rime/younameit for the last 5 months or so, and we only had to cancel one time. At destination they had braking action 2 (med to poor), and about a 25 knot crosswind component, which was above our limitation.
And why couldn't they fix it? They were out of...you guessed it...sand!
