Any forecast this far out is a wild guess - I'm only monitoring closely as I have a connection to an international flight there on Jan 9th.
My question is: Has DL made any further infrastructure improvements to handle snow, deicing, etc, at ATL? I think we've all seen it's generally a situation that DL just cuts its losses on as it only happens every couple of years. Not only interested as a passenger with my upcoming trip, but as an airline pilot I rarely operate through ATL these days so was curious.
The last measurable snowfall in Atlanta was what, 2016/17?
I don't ATL has done much to turn the airport into a winter weather hub like DTW or MSP. But the state has invested in salt and plows, so maybe the airport too?
