Ah it annoys the hell out of me when I fly to places like JFK, BOS, ORD, YYZ, YVR, SVO and a bundle of other places which experience "severe ahem" snowfalls on a regular annual basis far worse then anything being experienced in the UK yet they pretty much manage to keep their airports ticking over with minor delays! London gets a moderate flurry and it shuts down and goes into crises mode!

LHR has an excellent fleet of snow clearance vehicles, why cant they seem to use them correctly? Send the drivers over to YYZ for a few weeks if they must.

Ahwell, I shouldnt really complain as I have been told to stay at home today and not attempt to travel to LHR....Just aswell cos Im in DUB and dont think I could have made it to work! LOL!
