Default Massive media coverage for snow north of London!

Perhaps we can now put to bed this notion about S.E media bias. SW, Midlands
N.Ireland, Lake District all featuring as main headline for first 10 mins of
News 24. Usual roving reporters, apparently terrible traffic disruption,
people staying at home and schools closed. Same old ;-(

No more grumbling in the shires, please!

It even snowed a little before it became sleety/freezing rainy and
then plain rainy in Blackheath last night. I like the look of that low
on Tuesday.

TBH Richard, that low looks very nasty for upland Devon with potentially
another dumping. Also the threat of gales in the south. The outlook has
changed too with less emphasis on a return to milder conditions.

Well if you will live in these upland areas :-)

Doing a quick calculation on last night's GFS - 26mm expected to fall
with the passage of the system in the London area. 12:1 ratio snow to
rain = 1 foot of snow. You heard it here first.

EC is interesting with the high toppling back over the top after 7
days:
