Greetings from a snow free and dry LHR !
With all the angst caused by news reports about the weather, I set off at an ungodly hour for my 10.30 flight from LHR this morning. The HEX was running smoothly and the view out of the CX F lounge (^ ) shows not a flake of snow to be seen at LHR.
For all those sharing my angst, be reassured. For the moment at least .......

I do understand the frustration for those whose flights have been cancelled this morning now looking at the conditions now and asking was it unnecessary - I have been there myself a few times too! But under the circumstances it does seem to have been a prudent action.

If you watch BBC Breakfast back on iPlayer you can see this morning their reporter was standing I am guessing by the Park Inn with the Emirates A380 roundabout in the background, At various bulletins it was anything from heavy snowing to sleet but the grass areas were totally covered though the roads were clear,
i guess BA are damned if they do and damn d if they don’t after snowmageddon a while back. At least with proactive cancellations it allows people to change flights without too much inconvenience though Manchester does seem to have had a pounding though I do notice some of today’s flights that were showing as cancelled yesterday seem 59 have been reinstated,
