Possibly, but there are important logistical considerations.  A major
airport rarely shutdown for weather essential.  In addition, most of our
members are on the west coast.

Conceivably, some of this could be handle by separating storage from
operations, but then you would have two (three if the patient is remote)
states to deal with, and the overhead would kill us until we were much
larger.
