Not sure when the flight you mention was.
Last night 17/12 Luton and City closed due snow. Stansted took the load resulting up to 75mins of holding (they needed two stacks)
Heathrow had RVRs got down to 700m at times and with a gusting, snowy crosswind up to 24kts. With braking action reduced to Medium the gusty crosswind exceeded quite a few limits on the A320s. (In know Lufthansa only allows 15kt xwind in the A320 with medium braking action)
Gatwick didn't appear to have too many delays.

Any significant wx cleared mid morning Friday. I wouldn't expect any delays today.
The BAA site is the usual go to for me but it wont give you any info about what the airline is doing re rescheduling. I'd go to the airlines site.
