AFAIK airfield only close if they can't provide the service. Snow on runways - or snowploughs clearing runways would be an example. Manchester closed early this year in very high winds - not directly because of the winds (that's the pilot's call), but because of debris bown onto the runways by the winds, and vehicles trying to clear it off.
