I cannot give enough credit to the skilled hard working flight crews that have to work in these adverse conditions.

[@twincitiesaviator]

Amen to that!

[@kristiross8751]

I will second that

[@adrianfromspain]

Also everyone on ground and controllers (both air and ground).

[@steveib724]

Yah they have it soo tuff lmfao do you even know what a hard day's work. They never had it so good. Here's one try delivering milk in the ghetto ha ha ha 😂

[@NickShoust]

That UPS 747 takeoff was incredible

[@aliciadaas2323]

Anyone can do planespotting in good weather--this takes dedication. Thank You.

[@eddichacon8324]

I'm very proud of those pilots, they have lot of responsibility for all passengers tanking off in very bad weather.

[@RalphMachyo]

Gorgeous! the snow makes the sound awesome too

[@twincitiesaviator]

Thanks! It sure does!

[@steveib724]

This is the spotting I like seeing iced runways hi winds tuff piloting great video top shelf 👍

Yes God Bless them all. Their skilled craftsmanship is so appreciated beyond words.

Much respect for you plane spotting in a blizzard!!!

[@twincitiesaviator]

Thanks! My pleasure!

[@OSUfan757]

Can we just take a moment to give a round of applause (thumbs up) to this mans dedication to getting us this video?! I live and work at DTW for Delta as an aircraft deicer, so I was watching how all the other hubs and cities were handling this. So I know very well that while it was still light outside at MSP, the wind-chill was like -25 to -30. YOU sir, are a LEGEND! **Subbed**

[@twincitiesaviator]

I’m going to be completely honest… this was the snowstorm prior to the aggressive -30 windchill one. This one was much warmer. Your kind words are greatly appreciated regardless! 🙏🏻

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

Those deicing crews are not messing around!

[@TomDixonMN]

You're a beast for going out in the weather to capture this🥶 I did a quick preview and then set this to the top of my queue for tomorrow morning's elliptical. This should keep me feeling cooled off 🙂!!

[@twincitiesaviator]

Thanks! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@adrianfromspain]

Videos are recorded for commercials money 😉. Nobody would have been there in those weather conditions for free.

[@EVPAviationTravel]

Thanks for braving the weather to bring us another magnificent video!

[@twincitiesaviator]

My pleasure!

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

I could plane spot all day at a place like MSP especially in the winter! I give so much credit to the pilots, FO’s and flight crew for the magic they pull landing and taking off in weather like this day after day! Especially the smaller commuter turbo props! Amazing videos love the channel! I’m also a snow bird from Buffalo NY we get some crazy snow as well!

[@NickShoust]

Oh some reverse ops too. Nice

[@mlcochran78]

Awww man!! I wish we'd get some snow down here at ATL. I haven't been spotting in accumulating snow since January 17th 2018. You did one hell of a good job here!

[@twincitiesaviator]

All fun and games until you have to go out in it then suddenly nobody knows how to drive! That’s a hot minute. Dang. Thanks Matt! 🍻

[@GabeClendenning]

This is legendary spotting, amazing job!

One of the best snow videos out there 🤌

Thanks 🙏🏻

Realy cool perspective with the snow and I enjoy the atc chatter.

That’s a world-class snow removal crew. Live here and I love your videos. It's great to have the hometown flavor. Thank you.

Amen to that, they’re the best in the nation IMO. Glad you enjoy them, it’s my pleasure.

Prime Air cool livery, first time seeing it . . .nice at 6:49

[@ph11p3540]

This is pilots really earning their pay. All their skills and thousands of hours flight experience pays off big time

[@thewildwilsonshow]

your Dad sent me here - I remember in 1988 going to see a plane in the hanger at MSP only it was the middle of the night after a class reunion. We'll just leave it at that. Have a fun trip to Vegas!

[@twincitiesaviator]

Bwhaha. Thanks I most certainly will!

[@primolilla]

Well done! It's been rough here and now the cold winds are blowing. I'm flying out on Xmas Day. This is great footage. Most people wouldn't leave the house let alone head to the airport to catch jets in action. Always classy, quality stuff on your channel. Thanks for another great video.

[@twincitiesaviator]

Thank you! 🍻 Merry Christmas!

[@DonniePalmer57]

Thanks for going out in that mess. Superb video work! Stay warm :)

Great camera work and editing. Nice catch of the Dornier Metro -- haven't seen one of those in a long time. Hope you didn't freeze off any body parts out there. Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

[@sultryone6237]

Excellent captures in blizzard conditions!!! Inspired to use my flight benefits to visit MSP just to watch all those Sun Country beauties and the ultimate heavy...UPS 747✈. Indoors of course.

What A Crazy Snow Storm There Buddy😛😝😜🌨❄️!!!

Kudos to the ground crews. MSP rarely closes, and when it does it's only for the conga lines to make a pass. I'd rather fly out of MSP when there's a snowstorm than anywhere else.

@@twincitiesaviator your hands must have been frozen! Thanks for your response

[@twincitiesaviator]

@epic.gamer7 After hours of filming in conditions like that, yeah, they’re a bit frosty. I will say that the elevated humidity helps vs the dryer air. That and handwarmers!

Lol that poor southwest plane

Funny thing it was actually a very comfortable 32 😂.

You should come spot my plane. Leaving on Feb 15 on delta 757

[@benjaminsumner2777]

Is the camera good in snow?

[@twincitiesaviator]

Very much so, just get a UV or blank filter for the lens to keep snow out of it. The gimbal system within is exposed to the elements.

[@benjaminsumner2777]

will the gimbal system stop working or can it get wet@@twincitiesaviator

[@olivercurren35]

Hiw often did they have to stop the planes to plow?

[@twincitiesaviator]

It always depends on how intense the snowfall is. Sometimes every hour.

[@imbowser]

i don’t understand how planes can fly in conditions like this.. it boggles the mind..

[@twincitiesaviator]

Pretty wild isn’t it?

[@pigybak]

Is there a fee for de-icing the planes?

[@twincitiesaviator]

Great Question! If the airline deices their own planes, then no. If an outside company does it, then yes.

It would be nice just to stay home on days like this. BUT!!
