Sounds like the Guildford area, only 45 miles from where I am got
quite a bit. With fairly low temperatures forecast tomorrow (around
5c) is there a good chance of it remaining into tomorrow afternoon?

In Cranleigh, 8 miles SSDE of Guildford, we had about 4cm. A little
sleet in the last few hours, with a slow thaw, but was snowing again
around 10am. I would be surprised if we had more than a few patches at
most left by tomorrow afternoon. There will obviously be more higher up,
and if you took the A25 either west or east from Guildford there would
be a fair chance of finding a reasonable cover. (So long as there's no
substantial rain, which removes snow quicker than anything.)

Already only a little patchy snow left here. For heading west of
Guildford, I meant of course to say the A31 (Hog's Back). But east of
Guildford to Newland's Corner is probably a better bet anyway, as it's
higher.
