Matthews is quoted as saying he had not seen snow like it ever before at Heathrow, not in his lifetime.
According to the Met Office there was around 3.5inches snow at Heathrow on Saturday. He must have lived a very sheltered life then.
I live 5 miles west of the airport and can confirm that we too had around 3-4 inches of snow on saturday.
Hello, on 2 February 2009, we woke to find 8inches of snow had fallen overnight, including I assume at Heathrow. Perhaps Mr Matthews was abroad at the time. Does anyone recall what happened to the flights on that day?
Presumably no one is responsible for telling anyone else what is going on and that includes the passengers?
