Im not sure about in the morning, but for a few hours in the afternoon it was snowing hard enough that it was not possible to de ice.

Generally the YYC CDF is not great, very slow, and at a minimum they use double the fluid required, but I have seen up to 10x what is needed.

Sad when a frost spray is quicker in YVR.
