Thaw LONDON (CP)--A dense fog settled over London and south- ern England today on the heels of a slow thaw that brought a measure of relief from a 10- day siege of snow and bit- ter cold. The fog was reported to have cut visibility to as low as 30 yards in the "commuter" sub- urbs around London. Rail and air services, already hit by snow and ice, were fur- ther crippled by the dense mist. British European Airways cancelled 21 continental and in- ternal flights from London Air- port where visibility was re- duced to 100 yards. Incoming flights were di- verted to airports in Scotland and Europe. More than 140 pas- sengers bound for Swiss winter resorts spent most of the night at London airport.
