snow

No snow where I am but seven diversions inbound thus far. Three from Manchester (this morning) and four easyjets in the last hour from Liverpool.

However this morning is has been stated things were tight due to the parked
up Ryanairs (nine). Unfortunately Thomson didn't get their Friday schedule
sorted (cancelled Egyptian flights) and also have two aircraft parked up so at one point there were only a hand full of stands left.

I think there are over 50 stands and some days only 200-250 movements
giving the impression there would be loads of spare stands but that is not
the case.

The AA 757 ORD-MAN was parked on 25 for a splash and dash.
