[JackBuddy]

I live a few mins away from Heathrow and it's the worst (or best) snow I have seen in the 17 years and 9 months of my life! Still, it's good for my mum's business.

[Yoshimitsui]

Everything up at Leeds is delayed for now, some cancelations.

[dogboy123]

Wooop Leeds :)

It's snowing on and off

[BeanEgg]

Most terminals are down, accept for T5. No air traffic above me either. :P

No departures though.

T5 is active, with only 3 due to arrive.

Complete chaos.

This will set back tons of flights, todays the day the UK comes to a stand still :'(:'(

Manchester got a few London diverts today.

[Adam!]

Aye, it certainly wasn't safe to allow arrivals or departures earlier on this morning.

De-icing fluid took longer to take effect due to the constant snow fall.

[Caution]

and there'll still be idiots going up to the desk saying 'but i have to be there tonight!'

Light snow in Leeds onite. Heavier later.

Thats true.

An aircraft is just the same as a car when it's on the ground, it uses wheels and aircraft can and do skid due to ice/snow.
