Yes, Mildred, ice hanging from the wings is bad, bad, bad. Mustn't have it.

That qualifies as severe weather affecting flights, and makes the trip over the river and over the woods, more like over the river, and into the woods. Bad, bad, bad.

We all want to go the Grandma's house in peace, in one piece.

It seems it would make more sense to invest in better high-speed rail service that is connected to the airports. Rail tends to be more reliable in poor weather.

Yes, but if icing conditions prevail aloft, it bodes evil.
