EMA is operational and has been all day, few delays this morning because of aircraft needing to be de-iced which has had a knock on effect all day, 1hr delays for a few flights, but they are all leaving, I think 2 flights have been cancelled, to catch up with the schedule, but otherwise all running fine. Its still snowing though, not stopped here

BRS still just about open and has been taking diverts this morning from STN, BOH and EMA, mostly FR and EZY's I believe. 3 non BRS based FR's sat on western apron at the moment.
Cancellations on AMS, BRU and CDG due to WX down route, and a couple of diverts (KRK, ALC, BGY) to CWL and EXT about 1340 during heavy snow. Think WX is forecast worse for BRS this evening and tomorrow.
Latest from BRS website....
WEATHER UPDATE
Bristol International Airport is currently experiencing some delays and a small number of cancellations as a result of the adverse weather conditions. Departing passengers are advised to check in as normal. For further flight information please visit our arrivals and departures board, or contact your airline or ceefax.

BFS suffered multiple delays and cancellations to all UK destinations...
LTN-BFS nightstopper didn't make it back from BRS during an earlier flight... so now theres 1 less aircraft at BFS in the morning

Manchester coped very well with all the diverted aircraft, all local hotels really pulled all the stops out. Local coach operators had a good day.
Got a problem, come to MAN we can cope.

Is that apart from the R/Way closure of 2 & 1/2 hrs this morning & the same again this evening, loads of Flts DVT to proper airports (where they can keep the runway & apron open) & Cancelled outbound flights followed.

.However, You, like many show your total lack of any understanding of winter ops. Which is why it's not worth the many explanations given.
Best treat the complainers with the same disdain they give to those who work very hard to get things running again.
