Peter Cockroft (BBC London news) said (approx) "from tomorrow evening snow moving in from the NW, with the heaviest snow expected to be just West of London, that's not to say we won't see snow in Central London... but fizzling out the further East you go, with Kent and Essex maybe missing out...But things are likely to change"

well well well, temps are dropping again so early in the afternoon, that wasn't predicted I think this block will put up a rather strong fight

Defo a upgrade on the 1.58 forecast with mr miller the snow band he showed developed further eastwards and had half of london in the snow threat and said not sure how much snow london would get

Looks like the latest weather forecasts on TV are already mentioning the snow moving more SE wards.

London could have a nice suprise come Friday morning

Met Office warning now out: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_warnings.html

As it stands, we are too far SE, with the warnings for places to our NW. Watch this space though, because I don't think the location of the snow is settled just yet.

Looks like this area is the edge which I'd imagine would be more rain/sleet if at all. Heard so much talk of it being further North and West.

Peter Cockroft got last week's forecast wrong, so that's means the we will all get snow. By the way, memo from the MetO to the Croydon Council still shows snow for Friday.

I just want enough to block the car in the drive on Friday morning. I understand a lot of the kids are off on half-term next week too, so they will be delighted if any schools get closed.

Think I'll take the work lap-top home just in case eh?????

bbc seem to think going by there latest 12.58 forecast that it will just clip areas northwest of london say windsor , alesbury\, slough, down to thorpe pk area

and will be rain south of london and the m4 corridor

What a cool dirty horrible stuff, yuk. Can't wait now for the slushy falls.

No chance of rain/sleet. If you see anything in Slough it will be snow.

The met office already have advisories out for the whole of your journey on Thursday: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_warnings.html

But if there is a heavier dump on Thurday night, then Friday may be written-off as well... I would expect all the major roads to be gritted, but do take care if you do decide to try and travel. Make sure you have all the necessaries!!!

Oh yeah, 100% snow for our region, not even a hint of marginality here, its jist whether the precip gets far enough west.

Believe it or not, this time the snow can stay further NW. I've goit a trip to Paris on Saturday, really can't afford for snow to scupper that plan...

Remember here is the general thread if you want an overall view of the set-up:

I dont think any will be rain (maybe coast like me) if the snow band moves East enough to you, it will be snow

Very strange a few days ago....I work in Hailsham so drive down the A27.Brighton itself had no snow but across the other side of the A27 there was enough snow to sledge on....very weird looking on one side of the road to the other as i was driving along....

Unfortunately I cant see the same for us! This event is definitely a nowcasting event ppn bands hardly ever go where they are predicted too in my experience.

Unless the rain band gets there first! hehe

I'm pretty sure inland in West Sussex will be snow though, definitely more marginal by the coast unfortunately. :sorry:

I think you will need to watch that old radar to pin down anything as specific as that. Not sure that the forecasts are going to be able to take into account topography and subtle nuances in the atmosphere etc. Remember this last weekend was odd as East of the South Downs (me) got a good covering and West got none in places.

Time to grab one of these again:
