       COPENHAGEN, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Oslo's main airport
closed on Wednesday due to heavy snowfall in Norway's capital
region, operator Avinor said.
    The airport will remain shut at least until 1330 GMT but the
outage could also be extended, it added.
        "This is extremely rare... there is so much snow that
the pilots can't see the lights on the ground so we've halted
all incoming and outgoing flights," an Avinor spokesperson said.
