As of Sat morning at 0400L, KTRK received 18" of heavy/wet snow, and another 12" of light/dry snow throughout the day to this evening. Today the team focused on removing the heavy/wet snow from ramps, taxiways, hangar rows. The runway was not attacked due the the heavy snow falls throughout the day with low vis, and extremely high winds. Tomorrow the team will work the runway, but it looks like significant snow fall overnight as well. We don't anticipate opening Sun, but will do our best. Stay safe!
