Quote Message: It was like seeing a graveyard of cars just sat in the snow unable to move. We were driving at a diagonal but moving forward, skidding along at about 10mph in the line of a coach in front of us. It was like Armageddon. There were no lanes, we were just following those the coach was digging with its tyres. It was really scary. We’ve lived in Norway for three years, so we’re used to driving on packed snow. But this was surreal.

We were sat on a plane until 02:00 yesterday and then Ryanair kicked us off the flight. We had to book our own hotel, but loads were booked up. Many people slept in the tiny departure area, we found a hotel and tried to rebook the flight which we were told we could do online by Ryanair. They then told us we would have to come back to the airport. There were families with kids who had nowhere to stay. It’s been a total shambles.
