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.


Jamie,

They have a very efficient clearin system but let's not forget the intensity
of the snowfall today, quite unprecidented.


Are you saying that in the history of British aviation, there has never
been a day when snow fell as rapidly as today (ie Wednesday)?
