Taxiway clearance, Belfast City Airport (December 2017)
With the temperature above freezing point and good spells of sunshine the snow cleared quickly leaving the taxiway very wet. Two snow plough-fitted tractors, towing rotary sweepers, were working to clear the excess water. For the record many incoming flights were cancelled or subject to long delays.
