The Hate Mail website had a slight malfunction this morning. There was a headline (now changed) that stated "Britain braces itself for 10 inches"

BOS-LHR
Hi all
Forgive me for not reading the whole thread but I'm in one of the world's most expensive internet cafes...
I was booked on BA212 from BOS-LHR at 16:05 this afternoon and found out myself that it has been cancelled - no email, no phone call, no text. Even in Manage My Booking there was no sign of a problem.
Anyway I'm now rebooked on BA214 at 20:20 EST this evening. If anyone has any clues whether there's any chance this flight will operate or not, please let me know as I need to make alternative plans otherwise. BA was not really able to say much.
Many thanks

Information updated 1 minute ago.
BA0214 BOS LHR 02 FEB 20:20 02 FEB 20:20 Estimated
Looks like one of the few flights that remains in the schedule. My guess is that this is because the operating ac is already at LHR.

Er... You expect the plane to be here from BOS in 3 hrs? You are on a different plane than the one departing BOS today, trust me. Your plane is probably already at LHR and that is why the flight is not cancelled. Relax, take a drink and don't rely on OLCI since BA's computer system probably has frostbite.

You can check on BA.com and http://www.heathrowairport.com/. They both give both flights as cancelled. So I would say that it is sure, yes.

I just phoned my Flyertalk Angel who volunteered to walk over the the gate for BA9 to give her some money for food etc, seeing BA gave her 3 quid for 24 hours and she is broke - told me BA staff told her that BA9 IS going out tonight at 9.30pm to SYD so I too am confused!

Just had a call from my Flyertalk Angel from the boarding gate for BA9 who assumes me they are currently boarding for SYD, and the staff tells her it will be taking off according to their current info, so need to cancel that Sheraton room fast ..... and so much for the data on the BA website above! 
3.30am here .... time for some sleep.

And meanwhile, I have to drive from Edinburgh to Chester, and it's virtually impossible to get any traffic information because (of course) all the stations are just talking about the SE and broadcasting 'don't go out unless you have to' warnings as if they applied across the entire UK 
From that I'll have to assume that the roads up here are ok (we've hardly any snow, but then I'm on the coast in Edinburgh, so it's never a good place to judge) and risk the A71

The BA214 is operated by the aircraft arriving in at 1835 as the BA215 .. not the BA239 (which only arrives after the BA214 is due to leave).. The aircraft operating the BA239 overnights in BOS then and operates the daylight flight back to LHR the next day.
The BA215 today is cancelled

henkybaby: you're right I miscalculated time zones (was in 3 different ones yesterday and none of them GMT...) but I'm in Boston trying to get to the UK not the other way round.
