I heard the BBC news weather forecast around 18:30 this (yesterday)evening
(was in another room) There were dire warnings of heavy snow for London and
the SE of England, why it was even suggested that the Spurs Arsenal game
could be affected. What a load of old tripe! I'm sitting here typing at
12:10 am the sky's over Sydenham SE London have been clear all night.

I'm fed up being told lies.

I personally think you're putting your own spin on it, Lawrence.

The forecast I saw said of the Spurs vs Arsenal game might see a flake
or two, they never said it was going to be a whiteout enough to
"affect" the game.

They said most of the snow would be in Essex and Kent, and could get
far as south-east London. I stayed overnight in Orpington (NW Kent, SE
London border) and woke up to a light covering of snow, with some more
moderate snow around 10am in the morning. Heavier snow, so I'm told,
fell in Kent. The warnings of 10cm were in the "as much as" not
"everywhere is going to see".

Maybe, just maybe Lawrence, the blame lies in the interpretation of the
observer of the forecast??

I told my parents that night, who were setting out on the roads the
next morning that we probably wouldn't see much snow, based on what I'd
seen on the BBC forecast.
