By the way, there is actually no such thing as "nil" braking action but that is a totally different topic. (The figures produced are usually based on a BA of 0.05).
Yes, I've heard that and understand - it shuts the airport down...but if an airplane will continue to move under idle thrust and the only way to stop it, (providing there isn't a 10kt+ wind) is to shut one, both or all down, regardless of the term, there isn't
any braking action...
