Just had the 'pleasure' of watching The Grauniad's Simone Caller
proving once and for all that he's a talking head on BBC and nothing more.
You'd think a travel correspondant would at least come armed with a little bit of basic knowledge, there is a thing called the interweb somewhere round here he could use. I did see he acknowledged there was still snow on the ground so perhaps he could do 'weather' as well.
Well done Simone, next weeks lesson is the yellow 'sky fire ball' and where does it go for twelve hours each day?...
I.E. can any pilots comment how our major airports rate against other major airports for similar weather.
Why do you need a pilot to answer that? Another major airport affected by similar weather, rapid heavy, wet, snowfall will be affected exactly the same way, see 'Paris'.
