Did they, Gatwick, deal with it very well about two weeks back? I don't think so, albeit a lot more snow, but then only a single runway operation.
They've put a lot of effort in after that fiasco admittedly.
By the way did I mention that LHR had only 4 inches to clear?
Gatwick spent £8m on snow clearing machines which were delivered 2 days before the snow.They've put a lot of effort in after that fiasco admittedly.

Russians don't seem to have much difficulty
You know for certain that someone has tried
If you were given a truck with a jet engine strapped to the front you would try you know you would

Gatwick's snow was every bit as difficult as Heathrow. It seems Gatwick did splash out and buy some stuff after the first snow hit - which allowed them to cope better with the second hit.
LGW had a foot of snow, unlike LHR's 4 inches, OK being generous 5 inches. Some say LHR had a lot more but one suspects such measurements were done with one of those todger rulers by which everyone has a foot and half.LGW admitted after the first closure that they just didn't have enough kit, and went and did something about it.
LHR? Will they do something about it? I've seen them in total chaos after 0.5 inch of snow, and still in chaos even after it's all melted and runways, taxiways and aprons are all clear and just wet with no ice.
Hope Willie Walsh and the other airline execs give the prats the bomb up the rear end they need.
