Snow delays flights in Europe and UK

More than 260 flights cancelled at Heathrow as forecasters warn of just 2cm of snow, Daily Mail reports.
Heathrow Airport became a 'refugee camp' yesterday after hundreds of flights were cancelled leaving passengers stranded. Heathrow, which typically handles 1,300 flights a day, said the cancellations were necessary because there is low visibility thanks to the snow.

Around 260 flights have been cancelled today because of fears over visibility.
