I suspect the airmass (not local) freezing level was higher further east due
to warming and convective overturning from the North Sea.

Interesting that snow fell to the west,south, and north of London ,whilst
here in the east seemed to have had only rain (not even sleet ),why is
that ..? temps were pretty similar over the southeast and presumably the
freezing level was much the same everwhere.experts step up to the plate
please ...

Light snow, preceded by light rain, around 2 a.m. this
morning. Barely a covering.

Likewise here, Tudor. Roads and pavements white in patches, and the lawn,
but not enough to warrant counting it as a snowcover. Overnight min was
0.4c and the precipitation up to 0900z was 0.4mm.
