Does it need to do this in mid-October?

This is what we dealt with once we got to Winnipeg on Friday night.

If you saw my status message on Friday night you saw that we had a bit of an issue upon landing in Winnipeg. The city had gotten hit with an unexepected snowstorm and they had not plowed or cleared the runways or taxiways. We touched down, threw the engines in reverse and slowed down. Usually after the reverse thrusters slow us, they are cut and braking brings the plane to a stop or near stop but not this night. The brakes proved of no worth and we continued down the runway until the reversers were engaged again. Once we were able to stop we turned to enter the taxiway when the tail swung out from behind us..we FISHTAILED! We regained control and attempted to head to the gate but had a horrible vibration that shook the whole plane.
Eventually it was discovered that the plane's wheel had locked at a 90 degree angle and we were stuck in the snow with a bum aircraft. We had to be towed to the gate after sitting for nearly an hour. What a crazy night!
