Back in the day no one cared because it was expected that there was going to be bad weather during winter. Certainly, schools would not have been closed like they were last Thursday

Yeah, I'm assuming schools won't cancel Thursday, just a pain if we get 2" followed by freezing rain.  Probably a two hour delay though out here if that happens.

Well, it's got a really long runway so you're less likely to slide off it. :damage:

Long enough to have landed the space shuttle.  In the early 1980s a couple of co-workers (one a private pilot) were flying back to BGR after a forestry conference in NM and there was a wicked crosswind.  The jet hit a bit hard and bounced, that wind caught and lifted the right wing, and the airplane was significantly tilted.  The private pilot thought "here we go!" but the crew up front realized they had another 10,000 feet of runway, plenty of time to juice the jets and stabilize the craft without needing a go-around.

Well non stabilized approach, you're ALWAYS supposed to go around. I don't want to fly with those pilots!
