There's video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xNazOA74nA
What the video doesn't show is that the plane then got stuck in a snowdrift while trying to taxi off the runway. It took them over an hour to get it free. We were having nightmares of it being stuck there for days with none of the local flights being able to land or take off.

Haven't heard the A330 come in yet. Hope the passengers have been accommodated somewhere warm…
