Default Airport distruption

Most airports would have had problems yesterday (as did the road
clearing gangs). The temperature sequence involved, plus the rapid onset
of rain, then snow, coupled to the sharp wind veer (with shear in the
approach environment), would have tested most. With high traffic
volumes, I'm afraid there is little that can be done as in this
particular situation. Safety was paramount, and a good thing too.
