Fallout from chemtrails, obviously. So it's true after all!

Well, thanks for the pictures ;-)

Your taxiways really do seem quite narrow. Maybe you need to talk to the
snowplough driver.

Reminds me of the year when I had to shovel for an hour just to make a
passage from the hangar to the taxiway.

A word of caution for those who use wooden propellers: Don't try to drag the
plane through deep snow by engine power. The snow that hits the propeller
can make some ugly marks on it. BTDT.

Yeah, the drivers didn't plan too well.

In their defense, this is the first winter like this since I moved to Iowa
over 10 years ago. Most years it snows, then melts, then snows, then melts.
This always gave the snow plows a chance to catch up.

This year, the very first snow was preceded by a big ice storm. They did
NOT plow it before it froze -- and then it stayed frozen for an entire
month. In the meantime, it snowed almost every day. The drivers were not
able to push the snow back from the taxiways far enough, which meant the
next snow closed it in a bit more...and it just kept coming.

For a while we had to be damned careful not to hit our wings on the piles.
We've had a major thaw now, so conditions are much better.
