Don't like to Monday morning QB but.... I get paid by the hour. I'd wait for a tug or a clean ramp.

That is simply amazing, we suck up even water vapor off of a mostly dry ramp. We would seriously be a submarine in conditions like that!

wow, great pics!! That would make me nervous. What would be the result if one of those engines barely dipped into the water and sucked a bunch in? Would it hurt it, or would it just harmlessly push it out the other end?

Gotta wonder what the pax were thinking when they looked out the window and saw that.

I understand they pressed winter snow-plow equipment into service to divert some of the water around.
