PVD closed: Aircraft slid off runway

[LearLove]

I was in PVD today.

When I left it was just raining but you could feel that if the temp dropped just a bit it would be FZRA and sleet city. The roads/ramp/taxiways were like ice rinks even when the temp was above freezing.

did it actually "slide" off the end of the runway or did they make a bad turn while taxing to the gate?

It looks like a bit more than a missed turn, pic here...

Just wondering..

Is this the 3rd or 4th CRJ to have a problem this winter season. I know that 3 aircraft had problems about 2 weeks ago in the last big storm, but think only one was a landing incident.

Glad to hear no one got hurt.

Hang in there guys.

4th I believe... 2 Mesa and 1 Pinnacle a few weeks ago and now 1 Air Whiskey... My public school edumacation says that adds up to 4. However I believe that at least one of the first 3 was a plane that slid off of a taxiway instead of runway. I also thing Eagle and Expressjet might have each slid one off the pavement in the storm a few weeks ago...but I might be mistaken.

Pictures I saw on the news looked like the gear was up.

Well if you walked thru 2 feet of snow you would look like you had no legs.

Jeeez, newbie!!!

Looks like they might have missed a turn and slid sideways off the side of a taxiway...Easy enough to miss a turn at PVD. That place has one of the more screwed up taxiway patterns of all the places in the northeast.

LOL, if you think Hugh is a newbie, you haven't been here long......

True, but if he can't figure the snow part with the gear then he is a newbie.
