Heavy snow in Zurich during our approach a while earlier in A320 CS-TNG. At the moment we are in line for de-icing prior to departure. It will add up to a 30 min wait. Engine 2 (the other one) is shut down, we are cross feeding and flaps are retracted until the runway holding point to avoid getting ice and snow in the flap mechansim. Weighing over 70 tons we are going to need all of the 27000 lbs of thrust provided by each of the beautiful CFM56-5B4 engines to safely get airborne from Zurich's "not-so-long" runway 28.
Nice!
