I have no idea what some of you are talking about?
Capetonian, I’m sat in Crawley, just to the south of LGW. Earlier I ventured outside to measure how much snow had actually fallen. It ranged between 25cm and 30cm. I have the photographic evidence to prove it. What the hell are you talking about “a relatively small amount of snow fall”?
I have friends in Windsor (about 5-6 miles from LHR) and they have seen next to no snowfall at all, I’m sitting here in just under 30cm. No wonder LHR is open and LGW is SNOCLO! I’d be unable to get to LGW to go to work even if it was open because of the road conditions.
Some of you are talking complete rubbish and really should know better.
