Again, I'm not getting on Heathrow's case for the day that it was snowing (Saturday) because disruption is expected in that case.
But it wasn't snowing Sunday and just about every flight canceled.
It won't snow Monday, but BAA has announced that a limited number of flights will operate.
It appears that Heathrow can't handle below-freezing temperatures. That's a problem.
