Three days later? What can there be left to clear by now? Again, there has been no snowfall on LHR since Saturday

We are not talking about desk staff here. I am wondering why one of the world's most important airports is operating without one of its two runways. This should have been the No. 1 priority for ground ops staff who should have been ready and waiting for this. We all knew it was coming. Clearing snow should have been a 24-hour job, at most, but three days later a runway is still closed.
The chaos in the terminals is another matter, but with a proper snow clearing plan there wouldn't be so much chaos.
Why is that runway still closed? Did someone scrape the surface off in the initial clearing attempts? I am struggling to find a reason, any reason, for this mess.
