Winning between the snow lying on the ground. Clear up here ATM, but more snow forecast for Thursday/Friday. I must say all the smow that fell caused no problems in any shape of form to moving around. Indeed off roading to take the dogs for a walk was a doddle. Bristol airport was shut for days, as was Gatwick, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds/Bradford etc etc?! ID: 1056107 ·

Sure Andy, Not a problem:). But snow in Egypt? Who'd want that? ;) Nooooo! You misunderstand. I am going to Egypt to escape the cold that has gripped the UK for the last month. It is currently forecast to be very snowy again at around the time I am due to fly out. If it snows heavily the planes won't fly and I'll be stuck in the UK for Christmas - a depressing thought, believe me! Considering how rare snow is in that part of the world, I wouldn't worry too much, Heck I went to Disneyland back on the 6th and I was worried the day would be ruined by rain, It did rain on the evening of the 5th though, But the 6th was clean, crisp, cool and clear of any rain, a perfect niw. Enjoy the Pyramids and the Spinx Andy. It does, however, snow in England upon occasion. It really does not matter at which end of the trip the airport is closed. It still ruins the trip.

It can be snowing at an airport your not even going close to and still ruin the trip. Unless one is not going in that direction or can go around. It all depends on where the airplane is coming from. If the airplane you are taking from Miami to Hawaii is stuck in a blizzard in Detroit... BOINC WIKI ID: 1056179 ·

It does, however, snow in England upon occasion. It really does not matter at which end of the trip the airport is closed. It still ruins the trip. Precisely. I'm not worried about snow in Egypt - it won't snow there, but snow here is looking possible and would mean there is a risk I can't leave the UK. Might have to stock up with food in the freezer in case I'm not able to fly out and am stuck here for Christmas anyway (that really would suck though!). ID: 1056245 ·
