Sorry! The whole of northern Europe is having some pretty bad weather at the moment. It's nothing compared with what people in some parts of, say, Canada have to cope with, but most of Europe doesn't have the infrastructure to cope. And just a few delays at other airports can have a huge knock-on effect.
When the Iceland volcano crippled flights some years ago, my wife & I were in the Dominican Republic. It took about 10 days for us to get back to the UK, involving the first available flight into Europe (into Madrid), a train to Santander, a hotel stay waiting for a ferry to UK, a ferry to Plymouth, a train to London, and a taxi to our home. And it cost a lot of money! As an aside, we'd been at a naturist resort in DR, so only really had the clothes we'd travelled in - got some strange looks in the hotel in Santander wearing the same clothes every day!
