Apparently not everyone or we wouldn't be having this discussion...
2000 RVR is just over 1/2 mile, factor in blowing snow, snow covered approach and touchdown zone, centerline, and runway edge lights and you make it very difficult to judge where the. BTW, min RVR for LOC only on 28 is 4000 RVR for their Cat.
