Five hours delay at Milan (Malpensa Airport) due to heavy snowfall!
Beautiful scenario although passengers were not that happy...

An Air France A320-100 which was already due for departure |
Wings covered with snow:

The cargo door is opened, also covered with snow |
And... more snow... all over the windows!

Obviously we had to go through a complete de-icing procedure before departure which took some 15 to 20 minutes more.
The weather outside was really frightful and I had a cinema to go with some friends. But since there's nothing we can do... let it snow, let it snow! As I arrived at 1:40am at Lisbon I had my cinema plans ruined that night and my LHR flight cancelled today.
Now I will enjoy a couple of days off! (No! damn it! I have to study for my college exams...)
