Heh. Back in winter 2023 my wife and I got caught in the southern Germany snowmageddon and were stuck in Munich for three days with MUC completely shut down, getting our flight out cancelled and rebooked daily. (I saw pics of regional jets sitting out tipped back on their tails from the snow load.) Finally caught a late flight out the third day, pushed back, engines spooled up, etc., then we went back to a different gate. Techs were called. After an hour it was announced everything was fine-- engines were just cold.
