Snow removal at airports is definitely an important activity. You don't
want the plows tearing up the lights or signs. You don't want the plow
drivers going on the wrong taxiway or crossing an active runway ... and the
plows are often out when the visibility and conditions are the worst (and
thus the easiest for making navigation mistakes) not to mention the long
hours and late nights they may put in when a major snow storm blows through
the area. How does a plow driver know where they are at when the surface is
covered in snow?
BTW, speaking of ways to get around in the snow ... I snapped this picture
of my dogs this afternoon and thought it turned out pretty nifty. (Sorry,
way off topic, but it is sort of snow related ...)

Here's a picture of what happens when Kenai get's a little out of line. Mia
(female) knows how to put him in his place ... (which is similar to what
happens when I get out of line around the house here.)
