It’s not squawking anything. It’s looks like it’s descending so will be landing at FUE some point soon.

Someone stated on the Jet2 Facebook group that Jet2 have confirmed this was as a result of a bomb threat.....Stansted being the usual diversion airport for terrorist incidents.

Dublin seems to be suffering with a few extended holding diverts. EK161 off to GLA or EDI. Did MAN refuse?

What flights did Manchester actually lose yesterday because of the snow?

Do you mean that diverted and did not return, or just diverted before returning?

I suppose both to accurately reflect the disruption caused?

If try to let you have the "diverted away" list in the morning - its on my laptop. Hopefully I'll remember before a medical appointment in the morning.
PS - my logs show the number of flights that diverted to each alternate airport.

Manchester forumers always seem to shy away from reporting cancellations or diversions properly unlike at Leeds where you'll even find out which hotel the airline is putting passengers into during a cancellation. I find it fascinating reading which airlines are going where whether an inbound or outbound diversion.
I think it is simply a matter of volume. Reporting them would be a full-time job. MAN was SNOCLO for just shy of 4 hours yesterday morning. I noted 21 inbound flights diverted away. But many, many more were cancelled and didn't take to the air at all. Several EasyJet flights were trapped on the ground at MAN; when they were axed outbound, the return flights were cancelled as well. I'm not certain, but I believe that there may have been some late evening inbound diversions from other airports too. I'd stopped paying close attention after sunset.
Perhaps the best guide will be to compare Scottie Dog's movements for Saturday with those of the same day one week previously. In terms of reporting the stats - warts and all - I don't think there is a more thorough contributor than him on any forum. He files a comprehensive MAN report every day. I think perhaps you underestimate his contribution? 🙂

As promised here is my diversion list for 10th December
I believe we ended up with at least 11 diversions which included 6 Ryanair, 2 Norwegian, 2 easyjets and TK7830 - a WAW-STN diversion.
Some of those landed after MAN's own weather deteriorated and we were in RVRs. The airport seems to have been very accommodating so well done to them.
