Beautiful sunny day at FVE. Today’s picture of runway 32 taken at 1721 Z is about as good as it gets for winter pavement. There is an icy patch about mid field to the right of the centerline, but should be no factor. FVE 1833Z weather: wind 290@09; visibility 10; sky CLR; OAT 25 deg F.

We have filed a NOTAM closing the airport effective 1645 Z today through 1800 Z December 18 unless earlier cancelled. Snow removal operations will commence once the snow has ended. Currently it is forecast to end after 0700 Z December 18. At 1655 Z FVE reported winds 360@04; visibility 1/2 mile snow; vertical visibility 900′; OAT 28 deg F.

FVE received less than an inch of new snow overnight. This has created very slippery runway conditions. As of 1515 Z we are plowing the runway. As the OAT rises above the freezing point and the sun breaks through the clouds we are hopeful that the pavement will dry. At 1530 Z FVE was reporting wind 260@07; visibility 10; sky OVC 4,400; and OAT 33 deg F.
