London: Heavy Snows Cause Travel Hell as London's Gatwick Airport Closes for Third Day: "
The weather is pretty crazy sometimes, and this week is one of those times. BAM—it turned December and London and the rest of the UK got hit with a major winter blizzard, which has been canceling and delaying flights, trains and pretty much every other form of transportation for the last few days. Getting hit hardest is London-Gatwick Airport, who, despite their persistent efforts to clear the runways of snow and get planes de-iced, have had to close for the three days straight. They may reopen tomorrow, but then again, they may not.
The other four London airports have been trying to pick up the slack, but with their own snowdrifts and high winds to contend with, the going sure isn't easy. The flight delays and cancellations aren't approaching the high levels that airports saw earlier this year, during the ash cloud of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull, so at least they don't resemble shantytowns...yet.
