It depends where at.

IAD should be prepared for a snowstorm that one would define as normal. Decent visibility and no ice and a reasonable rate of snowfall.

If it snows in Amsterdam, Tokyo or Houston where heavy snow is not common, even a few inches can reek havok for days.

MSP/DTW/YYZ should be very prepared for snow.
