Firstly Welcome.
Secondly You wil forget about this flight in a few weeks time anyway. It could always be worse, you could have been in spain.
Anyway why does everyone say the last amount of snow was last year. It was this year, okay Jan / Feb but still this year. At the moment Europe is also having bad weather and you will find they need to close the airports in places like Geneva for a bit. But everyone complains about the UK for some reason.
On a slightly different note. I was watching CNN coverage of Gatwick being closed. Some tanned holiday makers returning from sunnier places. Still wearing shorts and t-shirts digging their cars out of the snow. The knew where they were flying to, their was no need to wear that on a plane.
