If you fly enough you will encounter just about any kind of weather, sometimes in the most unexpected places.
A winter squall blew into Salt Lake City during a layover, creating the below tempest over the airport.
In the half hour boarding process the storm changed from a cold rain to a snowstorm, requiring additional delays while the place was de-iced.
As we taxied the runway I recalled how this sort of weather system would often shut down an airport in years past, but with modern technologies and aircraft it's just part of the plan.
