The plows sweep the airstrip in a staggered formation, "each vehicle just behind and to the right of the other," so they "hand off" the plowed snow to one another until its pushed off the field, Olislagers said.
In heavy wet snow, the plows move more tightly together and make more passes to clear the weightier mass.
In fluffy powder, the plows spread out more, so they're not "just rearranging" the free-floating flakes.
So what is interesting, do they pull the staff in before the snow? They have much better business continuity plans it appears than most.
Next, do they have the ability to move in big jets, or just corporate jets?
Do we take a lesson from this: we need to move to smaller, local airports instead of the larger monsters?
