Apart from Heathrow, most airports had to close for a while with the
snow.
Manchester and East Midlands had been closed earlier in the day then
1624 Stansted closed expected open late evening
1630 Luton closed expected open late evening. Reported 9 cms there.
1715 London City Closed but reopened later
1800 Gatwick closed until 2000z
1840 Bournemouth closed

BA reported cancelling 44 flights from LHR & LGW.


One wonders how it's even possible to fly to places like Scandanavia in
the
winter if a few cm of expected snowfall requires a complete shutdown.
