A sharp line crew would have cleaned the snow off of the horizontal stabs.

I stopped by the airport when I was out running errands this morning.
Probably 90% of the aircraft had their tails on the ground with their
noses in the air.
I thought, that sure was thoughtful of the line crew to tie the tails down
so the sno would slide off.
Then I drove out to the ramp and saw that the ice-laden snow had actually
pushed the tails down.
Oh well, in another day or so it will all melt away and those nosedraggers
will be back on their training wheel.
