I wonder which were the weather conditions (and, in particular, the visibility) when the EA-18G depicted in the following image landed from a flight during massive snow storm at Naval Air Facility Misawa, Japan.

The Growler belongs to the  Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132 that is finishing up a six-month deployment in support of U.S. 7th Fleet.
