The Next Dark Age
We're in it Now
I am Home
And today is travel recovery day.
While I am on rants about travel and cities that can’t deal with weather even though it totally happens. Here is what I learned on this trip:
San Francisco’s airport does not have de-icing equipment.
My flight was delayed an hour after a storm passed through because we were waiting for the slush to melt, or fall off the wings. After awhile the pilot called in said, “Can someone just bring a broom over here?”
That worked, so perhaps SFO doesn’t actually require expensive de-icing equipment. But they certainly require more guys with brooms.

San Jose doesn't have de-icing equipment either. You should have thrown through LAX.
