Poor old BAA, getting all the blame. It's really the fault of their owner, Ferrovial, due to chronic underinvestment. (As it doesn't snow much in Spain, why should they care?).

I have offered my solution to the snow problem, but no-one seems to want to spend the small amounts of cah needed for the whole problem to be resolved.

All that is needed, when snow is forecast, for airports at least, is to suspend flights while a large number of heavy-duty tarpaulins are laid out to cover the runway. The snow then falls, tractors are then attached to the tarpaulins, and tow all away. The runways are then cleared of snow, tarpaulins and of course, tractors, and the aircraft fly away.

Simples!
