FVE 14 and 32 conditions narrative and photo posting follows. The effects of the snow and rain event of Wednesday, January 23 continues to dominate the narrative at FVE. Although we are open today and two of our based aircraft were active today the the runway surface remains bumpy as a result of irregular adhesion of ice after mechanical scraping. It is significantly improved compared to Thursday, January 24 but it far below my standards. Expect another temporary closure Wednesday, January 30. The forecast is calling for 8″ of snow hopefully all snow for this event. At 1910Z FVE wind was 160@06 with an OAT of 3 deg F.

FVE is closed due to ice and a wash board surface after ice removal operations proved unsuccessful Friday. The picture posted here was captured at 1253 Z Saturday. The airport may remained closed if conditions cannot be remedied.

FVE pavement is looking great. This morning’s photo of RWY 32 was taken at 1300Z. FVE weather at 1357Z: wind 340@08; visibility 10; sky BRK 3,800; OAT 10 deg F.

Runway 32 photo recorded at 1208 Z. Very still and cold morning (0 deg F). FVE received a dusting of snow overnight. Open for business. At post time (1235 Z) the sun is up and brilliant. FVE is reporting: wind 310@03; visibility 10; sky CLR; OAT 1 deg F.

My apology for the lapse in daily photo posts of pavement conditions. The following photo was taken at 1721Z. A beautiful sunny afternoon though cold 8 deg F.
