What do you put in your snow that makes it weigh down the tail of your planes?

Wow.. That's a lot of snow!!
The main difference between getting that much snow here (Iowa) vs. there (south of the Maxon-Dixon Line) is very visible in the pictures. Notice tons of snow on Mar 4. But by Mar 5, there is nothing but clear dry asphalt! If we get that much snow, it stays with us for days, weeks, or even months!
At least we dodged the bullet on that storm. Better you than me.

It's called MOISTURE. Something we haven't really dealt with since sometime around November.

I looked up "Maxon-Dixon Line" just to be sure...

I had the runway clear by 14:00 on the fourth just by driving back and forth up and down the runway to let the sun get to the asphalt and then spreading the snow/slush with the tractor front end loader to keep the max amount exposed to the sun. Nothing was plowed up into ridges or piles. It was a nice clear day with lots of sun the day after the big snow.
The snow that we had a couple of days later was much less but the 150 played tail dragger again. We also lost power to the south side of the field from 9 AM Friday until Saturday afternoon disabling the ASOS and NDB.
