Apparently he made it wherever he was going, but ATC was full of
moderate icing reports from King Airs and up. You've just got to
wonder what in hell was so important that our intrepid pilot HAD to
depart into the worst kind of winter conditions.

Freight dog?

I've seen those guys arrive and depart in weather that I wouldn't want
to *drive* in, let alone fly.
