YZF has limited resources but manages to keep ops going most days. You could give LHR 4 miles of plows and 2 miles of blowers and they would still cancel flights. Do folks remember the promises they made last year?
Spanish-owned operator BAA announced yesterday morning that 30 per cent of today’s flights from the world’s busiest airport – about 200 – would not take off to ‘minimise disruption to passengers’.
It means that the flights of up to 18,000 travellers could be cancelled or rescheduled as airlines scramble to adjust their flight plans. The decision was in stark contrast to airports across most of Europe where, despite arctic conditions, flights were due to take off as normal.

A bit of joke if not so sad.
