Another great report, thanks LAME

On the same ramp in Winter, something I was NOT used to.

I don't really see the "something" you were not used to Could you maybe explain it or post that picture in a bigger format.

The photo is of myself and one of the JFK ITR refuellers, in Winter clothing, refuelling our aircraft in snow.

Up until then I had never in my 40 years in the industry, worked in snow and ice, we never get it here where I live.

It was quite an experience, apart from things like having to drain the potable water every night because it freezes, we had fuel boost pumps freeze up and delay the aircraft, and not to mention falling over on my backside on the slippery ice.

[Avro]

Allright. Now I get it Thanks for the additional explanation.

Must be funny experience

I should have also said, that it was the only time I have EVER in 40 years in the Industry had to de-ice an Aircraft.

I was doing the preflight on the A300-600 one morning in Winter at JFK, and just could not believe what I saw, the static ports on both engines were covered with solid blocks of ice, something you people in Europe would be used to, but not me. 8O
