Monday 2 Feb 2009, Heathrow had 399 movements (normally around 1,250, so about a third). 9L closed until 1800. 9R operated throughout apart from an interval 0830-1030. I see from my own e-mails on that day that it snowed in central London all day, not just for a few hours. In fact I took photographs of my own garden, I see it was far worse than this recent one. Next day, 3 Feb, Heathrow had 1,120 movements, so getting back to normal.
