Amber weather warning for snow in northern England extended to Monday ► www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/05/heavy-snow-disrupts-travel-in-england-and-wales-as-airports-close-runways
Actually it was 4 inches deep in my town 7 miles away from Manchester. My son was flying to Dublin today his plane was over an hour late waiting for the snow to be cleared it was quite deep at the airport I went out and looked at the runways
Absolutely pathetic, who ever is in charge of snow clearing please go to Ted Stevens airport in Anchorage Alaska and see how it’s done, they have well over 15 foot of snow a year. With Temperatures of -10 or colder. And the airport has never closed due to bad weather or cold, Manchester airport should never have closed just very poor management, The same with any other airport that closed over the last few weeks.
Weren't both airports demonstrating just how well prepared they are for normal weather conditions experienced in this part of the world. What a joke these buffoons are
I get that people won't generally prepare for snow in regards to cars and buses etc but I find it odd that a major international airport with advanced weather reports can't handle a bit of snow. I know it doesn't happen often but really, c'mon on.
How often does it snow in Canada and Norway? How often does it snow in England? Instead of trying to be funny, why not learn about global climates, how a small island has different weather to a large continent. But, no, you've just got to jump on the tired, old, ignorant bandwagon.
@@dougaltolan3017 have a wee sulk, and then write to your MP about how people on the internet are "ignorant"😭 The annual risk of snowy weather is high enough in the UK that it shouldn't come as such a shock to the whole system as it is each and every time, was the point I was making. This isn't the desert.
We didn't 'grind to a halt'... It's just preparing the runway and managing the small amount of disruption it caused. Planes still operated, just delayed a bit, that's all
@@pinpinbowling4087 hah in UK heavy snow u english pple really never seen what does mean heavy snow wqeqewqeqweq :D :D with 0.5 cm u cant drive a car wqeqweq :D
That would lead to people hating the government and going on a rampage. You‘re best kept in the dark about how people really live and being fed a steady diet of minor news pieces
Oh no the media are scaring me with all this stuff about the " heavy snow " I just don't know what to do.......oh someone in the government please help me.....😮
and people expect to just carry on without any change to their habits; I was on a rural road a couple of days ago, you could see the ice on the road so I slowed down, took it really steady, tried to have one wheel in the leaves at the side of the road, when a BMW came tearing along towards me, lost it, swerved across the road, into the ditch and ended up on its roof in the field. The guys face as he was trying to get the car straight was total surprise. Like it's -2 outside and you can see the frost on the road pal.
Hot pipes under the runways they been there since 63 the same hot oil runs through airport and one of the hotels was goverment paid don't no about now I was out there back in the day selling sun loungers turns out it was a bad business would have been better trying to sell snow to the escomose
No amounts of snow will stop the invasion ! The UK government will funnel resources into ensuring these illegal parasites continue to flood in no matter what .
"Heavy snow" didn't disrupt anything, it was the lack of prepations. Other airports around the world can operate just fine with a meter of snow or more, but British airports have problems with one cm of snow. A few years ago there was a case of snow being blamed for massive delays when there was so little snow you couldn't see it.
This country is a shambles, 2 flakes of snow and flights stop. There are countries where they might get a couple feet of snow, the snow plough is out all night working to get things all clear for the morning, it's not complicated.
i know the uk doesn’t really get that much snow but this is nothing, why is every other country able to operate but the uk isn’t when there is barely 2 inches of snow
Honestly 6 inch of snow and the entire country comes to a halt this afternoon 2.10 pm the roads where clear but buses were being cancelled any excuse will do in Britain
My flight to Torino got delayed by about an hour and a half. The next flight to torino after that which should've left 10 mins after mine got delayed by 8 or so hours. I got very lucky
@Thebritshnationlist-unttp-UE look at a map. You'll see Denmark is south of Norway😂 Don't you have a map of the world in ya head? Wow 😂 you know..that big globe thing ya live on😂
Yeah people don't realise that snow is really affective even like a dust because we don't get it as much, we never get a white Christmas it's just new years

Heavy snow ? My dandruff is worse than that and I'm bald.
@@bermudarailway Head and Shoulders?
@crisfiler6128 And groin !
My fridge freezer is laughing at this clip.
You have been roundly mocked by the commenters for calling that heavy snow. And rightly so.
Where is the heavy snow? All I see is a dusting…
it's the lying Media again 😂
@GnasherGear are you talking about 2010 December? That's 14yrs back now my friend
In 2015 in the north west, specifically Burnley, we had blizzards that covered the height of bus stops and froze over
@@MrYounis26he did say 'over' ten years back
As a Brit living in ALASKA this just made me laugh my socks off… “heavy snow”. Where????
It’s embarrassing tbh
@@FeeNoNahdo you know the types of people that write for the guardian?
@@jamesmcdougall7748 Vegans? 😂
It’s always the same with sensation headlines to gain ‘clicks’ that’s all it is. You know we only get a few days per year of snow 😂
Here they are considering any sight of snow is heavy. That is what it is
A light dusting of snow and our country grinds to a halt ....and the media starts to totally exaggerate!! 🙄
This report is exactly why I don't trust Mainstream Media, and the number of people is growing.
😂😂😂 Why this happens every time it snows in Uk what does that have to do with your trust issues.
Having lived in Canada for a year, I hear you. It’s objectively not heavy snow; but for the UK it is
@@JustKarlosobjectively it’s NOT heavy snow, by any standard.
why's that?
@@JustKarlosuk isn’t built to be papered for snow
Heavy snow, are you kidding me. 😂😂😂😂
yes. so troll eleswhere bot farmer
@@LdevArttriggered
@@LdevArtif you think that’s heavy snow then I have some news for u…
@@LdevArt Have you never seen snow before?
@@aaronmicalowe ASK A RELEVANT QUESTION. or shush
Guardian dictionary:
Heavy snow = a light dusting of snow.
Actually it was 4 inches deep in my town 7 miles away from Manchester. My son was flying to Dublin today his plane was over an hour late waiting for the snow to be cleared it was quite deep at the airport I went out and looked at the runways
@libbybethuk That's not deep snow. Deep snow is like 30 inches and above.
All snow on the roads can be hazardous, “light dusting” or otherwise.
@@helenpauls1496 True, but that has nothing to do with the conversation here.
@@aaronmicaloweIt refers to the news report.

The difference being it’s common in Alaska and a very rare one in the U.K. Put your thinking cap on
@@peak8545 the difference is people used to take work serious. It is not the first snow in the U.K.
No money
@@skyejacques LOL, it‘s privately run. They don‘t want to spend the money, that‘s totally different than that there is no money.

What a joke these buffoons are
Hay bro how are you?
@@Raihan47 👍
@@rorymax8233 What is happening?
No snow on the south coast, I feel scammed by these clickbait news articles.
I find it hilarious that a country as north as Canada and Norway grinds to a complete halt every time a bit of snow falls.
I get that people won't generally prepare for snow in regards to cars and buses etc but I find it odd that a major international airport with advanced weather reports can't handle a bit of snow. I know it doesn't happen often but really, c'mon on.
We're built to handle rain better than it's frozen cousin
How often does it snow in Canada and Norway? How often does it snow in England?

If it's enough to stop planes then yes it's heavy snow

@@isearia93elf7can’t tell what you’re doing with the random letters mate. Had trouble understanding that for a second 😅
When the UK becomes a rational place again , it is 'The Guardian' We will use as a Universal example of a fifth column.
I agree......
the media are all the same; Telegraph; Mail; Times; BBC; ITV all reporting on disruption.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REAL NEWS. THE IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT CHILDREN SUFFERING!!! IT MAKES ME SICK.
That would lead to people hating the government and going on a rampage. You‘re best kept in the dark about how people really live and being fed a steady diet of minor news pieces
Oh no the media are scaring me with all this stuff about the " heavy snow " I just don't know what to do.......oh someone in the government please help me.....😮
Heavy snow ?? You do not know what that means !
It’s about an inch. If we stayed in the tropics I could understand the country grinding to a halt. But smh it’s the UK
Normal media rubbish. Usual incompetance at UK airports when we get half an inch of snow. Worked there for 25 years, saw it all.
Ohhh yeah 👍 Definitely heavy snow... Let's go to the pub and enjoy some Guinness till the snow is melting 😂
If we all buy a battery car we can stop this sh!tty weather
That's not heavy snow. The UK just has very bad infrastructure that can't deal with 2cm of snow.
and people expect to just carry on without any change to their habits; I was on a rural road a couple of days ago, you could see the ice on the road so I slowed down, took it really steady, tried to have one wheel in the leaves at the side of the road, when a BMW came tearing along towards me, lost it, swerved across the road, into the ditch and ended up on its roof in the field.

That's heavy snow?......Italy recently had heavy snow, Japan recently had heavy snow, Bosnia just had heavy snow....Canada just had heavy snow .......
I wonder how airports operate in Canada or Norway then....
Hot pipes under the runways they been there since 63 the same hot oil runs through airport and one of the hotels was goverment paid don't no about now I was out there back in the day selling sun loungers turns out it was a bad business would have been better trying to sell snow to the escomose
You mean in places where it's financially viable since it happens more often..
Do the math you idle fwit.
The Guardian what a pathetic excuse for journalism
Heavy snow 😅 come on its not heavy just a bit
It hasnt stopped the boat people
There's no such thing, just a right wing myth, if we're to believe the media about anything!

And Bristol airport!! I had my flight to the French alps cancelled yesterday, spent 11 hours there before having to just come home.
Wow! Unbelievanble. Real weather!! What is the world coming to when we actually get weather!
Thats Heavy snow ffs get a grip! 😂
makes a nice change, usually it is strikes that disrupt flights in the UK and Europe
Heavy snow. I’m sick of the BS headlines.
They definitely don't know what heavy snow is 😳😳😳😳
No snow here in Lincs, just heavy rainfall causing ground saturation (above ground water table!). I'd much rather have snow 😢
I flew to Manchester from Grand Canaria and it was snowing!
This country is a shambles, 2 flakes of snow and flights stop. There are countries where they might get a couple feet of snow, the snow plough is out all night working to get things all clear for the morning, it's not complicated.
😂🎉
FFFAAAKKKKYYOOUU
IN EUROPE SNOW 🌨️ 20cm !!! Everything is ok !
A A .... of course you need a heating system in landing 🛬 RUNWAYS
I bet the Canadian pilots couldn't believe that they had to be rerouted, in Canada this is a frost and they constantly land in it.
i know the uk doesn’t really get that much snow but this is nothing, why is every other country able to operate but the uk isn’t when there is barely 2 inches of snow
oh no we wasn't warned of this half an inch of snow, it is a disaster, let me pay more towards net zero please
2 cm thick… but heavy? Miracle snow.
How come planes take off constantly every day in canada?
Closed due to lack of aircraft deicers?
Snow is not breaking news.
i live right by liverpool airport and my bus goes through the airport and its cancelled because of the snow, it isnt even that bad😭
Honestly 6 inch of snow and the entire country comes to a halt this afternoon 2.10 pm the roads where clear but buses were being cancelled any excuse will do in Britain
probably because we're not used to snow. Buses weren't cancelled at all in my city
Shame on ypur reporting skills. Day time video. U are no way better that man airport
Heavy snow?????????????????????? Still asking
Omg!! There’s winter in UK!! Amazing!! 😂😂
Heavy snow now in Manchester airport
My flight to Torino got delayed by about an hour and a half. The next flight to torino after that which should've left 10 mins after mine got delayed by 8 or so hours. I got very lucky
Any Disruption at Glasgow Airport

Jammy or what! We must be thr only City the snow missed AGAIN!

You call that heave show? Hilarious.

Sky News are trolling us today with the ‘heavy’ snow coverage. 🫠
Heavy snow? Where? Parhetic
What happened to global warming?
it includes extreme temperatures. go and research it
Go look up the meaning of the word "trend"
I thought snow was going to be a thing of the past in the UK because of climate change
Yeah people don't realise that snow is really affective even like a dust because we don't get it as much, we never get a white Christmas it's just new years
Eh😂 be more of it to come with climate change...Where is the ice in the poles going to go? Up and down 😂
