Simple, it happens almost every winter. Everywhere to the North and West
of
London seems to get snow while the far South and South East just get rain.
I suspect the top of the Downs and other high ground will get some wet
snow
while the back edge of the cold front may produce some sleet at lower
levels. If it were the 80's then maybe it would all be snow, but
unfortunately things have changed somewhat over the years.

At the beginning of this message, I meant that it seems the newsgroup
is
suggesting areas to the south of the M$ are UNlikely to see any snow.
Got
a
bit confused!

I was wondering if the M$ referred to the new toll motorway given the
charges! In my location (St Albans) a trough or similar feature is
generally
required to generate significant snow as we are too far from the east
coast
for heavy showers to reach us. The latest charts suggest that the chance
of
this happening is lower than 24hrs ago.
