Why don't they just say "due to snow and ice", instead of "severe weather"? (Rhetoric, of course, not an actual question. I suppose they don't want to appear more incompetent than they actually do by calling it more benign, but correct, name.)
^^ Couldn't have put it better myself!! A couple of hours and just 3 inches of snow bring one of the world's biggest hubs to a standstill for 48 hours, even without more snow?? I ask you!!
