Snow today in the UK
Just sat here looking at the Met office website, wondering how the various airports around the UK are coping.(looks horrendous in Scotland)
No snow at Manchester yet, although snow teams appear to be ready.
Whats happening where you are ?

Lucky if the aircraft get wet on the apron let only get deiced.

Continental divs
I wondered where they had gone, I dont understand the logic of flying to an alternate that is the other side of the Irish Sea. Surely it would make more sense to stay on the mainland just in case the flight has to terminate there.

BA has had to close off First Class section on several services today due to cabin crew shortages - GLA is currently closed and this is preventing a number of crew who live north of the border commuting to Heathrow

GLA update from announcements in the BD lounge: now the airport is due to open at 13:30, with flights at 14:30. (Which to me suggests that it's opening at 14:30, but what do I know...)

A sprinking of snow in Manchester, but not sticking.
Seems strange that CO would not have diverted to MAN from GLA/EDI, being only 4 hours by road.
Unless they expect difficulties in getting a/c out of MAN later on, or due to crew/ops reasons.
