I remember when I was a boy living in south Herts,, a short but fierce fall
of snow one Maundy Thursday in late March or early April. It must have been
around 1973 or thereabouts. Not dissimilar to today - temperatures of 4 deg
..or so, which fell dramatically, heavy snow for about an hour. 2 or 3"
lying. That's the only polar low snowfall I can recall in the London area in
recent (or even not so recent) years.

It wasn't a polar low as far as I'm aware.

And you don't even need snow (falling)!

I remember one in Aberdeenshire in the 80's when after a week of sunny
weather with 18ins snow lying, a polar low came through with blue sky and
whipped the snow up, blocking roads
