I recall the winds having an Easterly component last year. We still only
had the very slightest covering here, not even enough to make a snowball.
I've lived here in Warden Bay, Isle-of-Sheppey for four years and the most
snow we've had is 1cm and even that was gone by mid morning. If the winds
are from the North then East Anglia, Essex, some parts of London, most areas
to the North and West of London, West Kent and possibly the very far Eastern
extremity of Kent will get snow. If I see significant snow here I'll be
very surprised, pleased but surprised.

Perhaps Darren Prescott can elaborate on when the last significant snow fall
was in this part of the world, I suspect January 1997.

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.
