I do suspect the Met Office will issue an upgrade, plan as day that this system is further NE than was forecasted by any model even on their 12z runs. With that being said I wouldn't go too crazy with possible snow amounts just yet, ratios won't be that great given the temps we currently have over the area.
Still something of a surprise event, so can't complain!
They have a yellow warning out covering areas to the South and West of London which is sufficient for the 2-5cms of snow these areas are likely to see. No need to issue warnings for other parts of the region because they will see a covering at most. Some people are going so OTT on here.

i think a foot will fall .CWT2012 for chief in the met office !
Whose foot? That's gruesome!
-
CWT2012 is getting a lot of stick, I think he is being a tad over optimistic with 12-15cm but I do think somewhere could end up with around 8cm-10cm. Probably somewhere on the a3 south of Crawley.
The very top of the Downs at a push, maybe. I doubt even that area will see that much though.

Medway Snow Shield really starting to get on my man boobs
Didn't think we'd see anything tonight anyway.
-
Are you two for real? You do realise it has been pasting it down W/S and SW of London?!
Not several inches across the entire region though...... A few cms to the West and South West of London. A dusting at most elsewhere. That's it.
-
From all that stuff on the radar and another 8hrs of snow? the last of the snow has barely left France and it is moving at snails pace
Look at all the orange and red bits on the NW radar too
Biggest single fall since Feb 2009 without doubt
The front is barely moving North anymore. Some areas that are under the ppn on the radar are reporting nothing. Some areas (mainly near the coast) are seeing snow turning to rain or sleet rather than snow throughout. There's a reason the professionals (i.e. the Met Office) only have a yellow warning out and have only covered areas to the South and West of the region.

I revise my prediction for the next 24 hrs
12-15" Banstead area and other parts of the Downs and also west Surrey (Guildford region), also Bracknell sort of area
More like 2-5cms for the far West and South West of our region. A dusting to 2cms tops for the rest of region but with the far east likely to see nothing.
-
M20 South is the Snow Shield protecting The Medway area...... yet again.
Right I'm moving!
I said I didn't think we'd see anything tonight. Several inches of snow widespread across the region my a***.
-
Nowhere in our region will see close to 10cms of snow tonight. 2-3cms tops for the far South West of our region.
-
The Medway snow shield is activated!
You mean we're not going to see several inches of snow someone "promised"? Ah well, at least I Won't be £1bn poorer.

That awkward moment when someone walks past your window and spots you gawping in the direction of the sky. I pretended to be inspecting my curtains. Still nada here.
Happens to me all the time. My house mate caught me staring out of the window on Sunday
-
True looking at xcweather yeah but what is interesting me is the back edge if you can call it that, or for easier terms the right edge is still creeping further up the Channel towards the Lower North Sea.
Which if so even with a move West it'll pass us and the Thames
It is very close to us on the radar so fingers crossed. Would be nice to see a few flakes and even better if we can manage a covering on top of the existing snow cover.
-
big gaps appearing on the radar though now so looks likely it's breaking up and will only be the odd shower here and there.
So my money might be safe then.
-
We'll it keeps throwing it out of NE France also so thats a good thing, we might clip it?
Maybe but it should all move more Westward now rather than Northward.
-
Netweather radar ppn over whole of north London but not a flake falling
I can only think that dew points must be too low.
-
According to weather.co.uk its snowing here. I must be blind.
-
Meto have me done for Light Rain very soon then sleet bit later
Not sure it will even reach us but if it does I'd be surprised if it fell as rain given that we're not near the coast.
-
Precipitation needs to be heavy if the dew points are low, otherwise the snow will evaporate before it hits the ground.
-
Right whole of harrow borough covered in ppn
Yet nish
Oh yeah, I was near Harrow earlier at a meeting so the snow may well avoid the area just in case I'm still there. Expect Rochester to get buried if the weather doesn't think I'm back yet.
-
really heavy now, biggest flakes i have seen since friday, wasn't expecting this, is this one of those events that just pops up out of nowhere?
Nope. The Met Office issued a yellow warning for parts of our region hours ago. There's a reason why it's only a yellow warning and there's a reason a lot of our region isn't even covered!
-
You are going to look like a prize plum if you are wrong mate!
We'll see. I like how I get stick for being realistic whilst people who ridiculously say we're going to be buried get a thumbs up. Haha.
-
Just about to leave work, when are we expecting this in w/nw london
You might see some light snow later. Unlikely to cause any disruption.
-
Is this heading Medway way?
We'll probably see some light snow at most.
-
You are probably too east, I would put the heavy falls at Croydon westwards going about as far west as Bracknell and about as far north as Luton
Those areas will probably see a covering. Harrow will probably get plastered again though

No it's not. Nowhere in our region is seeing that much snow or will see that much snow. At most places to the North of London may see a covering. No need for a warning for that. If this ends up a big snow event and parts of our region see 10cms of snow I will eat my own face.
