Addressing a previous comment- SEATAC handles the snow pretty good. I flew out on Christmas Eve in 2008 and it was snowing hard. We were in the air a little late but not bad. We got deiced, taxied out, took off really steep to get above the storm before the wings iced up.

FWIW, YouTube usually works fine, it's a picky keyword filter I think.
