Heavy Snow

The weather-man's prediction of heavy snow in London for today was spot on. Plenty of the white stuff and major disruption to travel a certainty. I've just made my way into town, and the snow was still coming down quite heavily. Nice and squelchy underfoot! I reckon we must have had about 6cm in Putney.

Heavy snowfall expected to cause disruption
The Met Office is forecasting a period of heavy snowfall for Thursday. Many areas of southern UK could see up to 5 cm, with as much as 15 cm in the Midlands; this could possibly lead to disruption on transport networks.
The band of heavy snow is most likely to affect southern Wales, the Midlands and central and southern England, including London.
The main focus of concern is for Thursday morning, but forecasters are also predicting some snow showers today and tomorrow.
It is important during these potentially severe weather events to check the latest forecast. The detail can often be very important and can change at short notice. The best weather advice and warnings can be monitored on the Met Office web site.
Transport networks are key aspects of the country’s infrastructure and the Met Office works with other major organisations in helping keep the UK moving."
