yeasterday we removed most of the snow on the runway, so we can be ready to recieve a herculs C-130 from the Danish airforce on Tuesday.
we had some problems with the Stevenson snow blower. it stopped and wouldn't fire up the engine again. this is a problem when it's -19 and everything freezes solid. after a couple of hour loooking for jumper-cables and big enough batteries we finnaly got the 20 ton machine runing. we managed to get it in front of the garage where it stopped again, and again and again. then the tower on it was frozen so it couldn't get in the garage. luckily we got it down and into the nice warmth of the garage. puh
today it started blowing, at the moment it's between 20 and 30 knots with temperatures aroun -8. this means that the runway has to be cleared for snow drifts, before the plane can land tomorrow...
