SASKATOON9999 I think your comments are somewhat unfair. You complain about the length of time that the runway closes at Luton then complain again that they don't close the runway earlier enough thus prolonging the closure.
It’s a fact of life that due to its location on the top of the Chilterns that when it snows locally Luton will always be dumped on more. As already mentioned in a previous post that while Luton had 13 cm of snow not a flake had dropped on Milton Keynes which is just 20 miles north as I headed for my bed.
While Stansted and Heathrow only reported light snow this was Luton
