Heavy snowfall is covering the United Kingdom this weekend. Two to four inches are expected across England, and snow has already hit Scotland and Wales. One third of Heathrow’s flights will likely be canceled Sunday. Explaining the decision to cancel flights before it started snowing, an airport spokesperson said, “If you can imagine you’re driving, you have to drive slower, leave more space for the car in front in fog, strong winds, snow. It’s the same with aircraft. If we don’t proactively cancel flights, the delays build and build, and it’s much worse for the passengers.”
