94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group Observes NY / NJ Port Authority Post Snow Storm Airport Operations at La Guardia Airport

A SouthWest Airlines de-icing truck at La Guardia airport which has been encapsulated and trapped wthin snow as a result of the heavy snow storm that slammed the New York City Tri-State area
A JetBlue A320 aircraft hopefully bound for a warmer destination sits on a some what clean snow bound ramp
The New York / New Jersey Port Authority called in the heavy equipment to deal with the large amount of snow fall that fell on the ramp, taxing ways and runways at La Guardia Airport
As seen some gates at La Guardia Airport were not in use as the amount of snow had to be moved from other gates to allow the creation of a collection area before being hauled off by dump trucks. Seen behind the terminal is the old air traffic control tower, which will soon be fully shut down, as the new tower has been erected and is in full operational status

La Guardia Airport, New York, 2010: A day after the first major snow fall of the year that hit New England, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) was at La Guardia Airport in New York to observe the mess that was caused by a snow fall that brought blizzard like condition to the Tri-State area and dumped well over 22 inches of snow. The high blizzard winds condition created snow drifts at the airport that were measured at well over six feet in height!
As a guest of Mr. Frank Socilano area airport operation duty manager for the NY / NJ Port Authority, the (94th ACG) was given a first hand account to view as to how New Yorkers deal with large amount of snow fall at the area airports and as to how fast an airport, as in this case with La Guardia could be cleaned and place back on operational status.
It should be noted that with two runways, La Guardia Airport does not have the luxury of multiple runways and clean up is essential toward full operational return to service of the field.

Through their well established industry contacts with such organizations such as AAR and Sargent Avborne & Defense, the (94th ACG) brought top, world known aerospace companies to assist in raising well over US$6,000.00 for the Miami-Homestead AFA-317th Chapter, which allowed the Chapter to establish a V.I.P tent to included meals and refreshments for all V.I.P's who attended the air event.
