Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the landing roll on Runway 27, the airplane experienced a loss of directional control due to wind conditions. The pilot had observed the windsock indicating steady winds from the south. The nearest weather reporting station, located 7 miles away, provided winds from 190 degrees at 13 knots.
Sequence of Events
Shortly after beginning the landing roll, the airplane weathervaned as a result of a gust of wind. This caused the airplane to drift left of the runway centerline. The pilot applied right rudder input, and the airplane continued down the runway, positioned approximately halfway between the centerline and the left edge of the runway.
A second weathervane occurred, prompting the pilot to add power in an attempt to execute a go-around. However, before the airplane could climb, it contacted a snowbank on the left side of the runway. The impact caused the airplane to nose over.
