The reason is a large volcano has erupted in Iceland and shot a razor-like glass filled plume of ash high into the atmosphere, right into the jet streams. This can completely destroy a jet engine if they fly through even a small part of it.
Here's to hoping it dissapates in the atmosphere and doesn't come down, as it's quite "heavy" with glass particles.
.. so here's to hoping it comes down over France. 
Well, enjoy your briefly warmer weather.

Nah. Those fuckers have goggles. They'll be fine.
All northern European countries now grounded too.

She might not be at this rate.
If the larger volcano (which incidently is right next to the small one) goes up in a chain we can say goodbye to air travel for a month or more.
What started as a curiosity is becoming annoying. Finding fresh exotic fruits and other flight-imported goods in the supermarket is becoming impossible. I want mah bananananananas.

Is there a noticeable change in the economy/infrastructure? Is this being treated as just an inconvenience or are there real noticeable issue?
