It did start to settle here, almost covered grass, then the sun came out and it all disappeared in 10 mins.

Just started snowing again though

Met Office advisory for London & South East, Thursday:
Snow showers may become frequent, heavy and prolonged at times, leading to accumulations of 5 to 10 cm in some areas, with 15 cm possible locally over high ground. Some drifting is also possible.

Almost the same applies to Friday as well.

We had about half an hour of heavy snow in this part of Suffolk.  It settled but then it melted.

The metcheck.com snow risk (which you quoted the other day) for here was 100%, but BBC weather just said cloudy. 

Now you're quoting the met office itself.  Are you trying to confuse me? :) :) :)

Mind you, I normally get my forecasts from this chap. He's very sober and down-to-earth. Makes Met Office presenters look like circus acts.

Thedrive home from work this morning was interesting.It was snowing quite hard and the Mercedes single wiper mechanism decided to eat itself for breakfast yesterday morning so I have no wipers.
Might have to press the *trusty Omega* back into service.
