New snow removal equipment will be put to the test.
Cleveland Commissioner of Airports Khalid Bahhur told News 5 the current storm will present a series of ice issues along with heavy snow, as flight cancellations in-and-out of Hopkins continue to mount.
Bahhur said he's stepped-up staffing at the airport is prepared to deal with extreme flight delays and he said he wouldn't hesitate to shut down airport runways if they become a safety issue in any way. "We can close if we need to close the runways until we catch up until we get there. We will never put anyone at risk. This is a safety-first culture here.”
