fredricka. we are looking at very poor visibility. if this was an alternate airport, meaning they were looking for an airport to land at because the weather was deteriorating, this was not a good choice. i m not sure there were very many good choices at all across this region. over the last 48 hours the weather has steadily deteriorated. visibility was at best a half a mile. this is a very small airport. it s about 140 miles to the west of sioux falls, south carolina. it lies right along interstate 90. and you can better believe they re having a very difficult time doing any kind of research, rescue, recovery across that region because the weather is so dreadful across this region. they have seen snow, ice, and very poor visibility. we had another incident at the buffalo airport. there was ice and snow there. now it is changing over to rainfall. but earlier today a commuter jet, a small delta commuter jet, exited the taxiway as it has been described.
