Default How fast does the skin of the airplane cool to surrounding temperatures?

Thanks, Jim.

Even better, don't take-off in the blizzard, wait for the
snow to stop and the taxi and runways to be plowed.


Only when accompanied by winds of about 25mph or stronger would I consider
lake effect snowfall a blizzard-like condition. There are many of these
events where the winds are not so strong as to blow snow across the runways
and taxiways at a rate where the plows at these two commercial airports (my
home and my destination airports) cannot keep up.
