Taxiing at an airport covered with snow can be quite challenging. Most probably the reason the airplane was not on the center-line and hit the pole.
How many of you find it quite challenging during the snow season to taxi? Any specific techniques pilots use? Taxing slow helps, but still can be tough when the taxi markings, signs are all covered up.
BTW, when you hit another airplane, or pole, don't you feel a thud? On the JFK incident with Egypt Air and Virgin, seems like Egypt air didn't even realized they hit the Virgin until the tower told them to stop!
