From Met office site: Whilst there is uncertainty regarding where the heaviest and most persistent snow will fall, accumulations of 1 to 5 cm are likely with a risk of up to about 10 cm in the worst affected regions.

Ooo I didn't know about this, hopefully there will be a foot of it in Woolwich and work will be shut Grin

West London only though it seems looking at the Met Office charts?

That radar looks like the snow is going to go right round us. But I am viewing from an IPod.

Think this will be a case of watch and see.

My DH has just called me from home in Greenhithe, Kent (I am at work, Canary Wharf) and it has apparently just started to snow!! I need it to hold off until 11pm tonight so I can get home!

JayVazzle · 09/02/2012 18:38

Ooo thats quite near.

Hope you don't get stuck though.

I should be OK, my car is like a snow plough!!

DH said it is coming down quite heavy, although he has been known to exaggerate Wink

Overtiredmum · 09/02/2012 18:42

Thanks Glitter, although I don't mind being at work, I don't start until 5pm, so I'm at home all day - can't complain with that. DH gets to bath the kids and put them to bed, whilst I have some normality!
