Louisa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 London will potentially get a few cm?s tomorrow night and into Tuesday. It will feel very cold, but it really will need to snow heavily to settle for any period. My hunch is that the bigger potential for disruptive snow will come towards the end of the week, and will probably herald slightly milder conditions there on in. Very cold for late February in London - yes. The coldest weather for decades? No. Snow - probably yes. Extreme snowmageddon - no. Louisa.

malumbu Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Met office are the best in the worldDaily Express and other tabloids buy their forecasts from the cheapest service and tend to be alarmist.I'll be cycling in all week as per usual, and sadly I doubt if it will be sledging weather, but I'll have an extra layer.I expect airports will be well prepared.Biggest issue I ever had was with (a) fog a year ago all airports disrupted (b) getting to Luton airport on a snowy day as Thameslink was down, but not due to the weather (you couldn't make that one up!)

DulwichFox Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We could wake up on Tuesday morning to an Icing of Snow. Trains in South East London will come to a complete stand still. Gritters will be left abandoned in the streets as their oil freezes and their batteries run down. There will be major food shortages as delivery lorries are caught in 5 mile back logs. The Thames will freeze over at Richmond Bridge. Thousands of Birds will perish unable to find Food. The rest of the day is expected to turn warmer with Bright Sunshine with a light Southernly breeze.

Louisa Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It feels cold but it?s easily above freezing out there, and the sun is shining. If people are panic buying when it?s like this, they need to take a long hard look in the mirror and re-evaluate their life. Louisa.

That was, of course, the end of the worst winter of my lifetime- so far.

If you look out the window now it?s dry, partly cloudy and above freezing. A few miles down the road in Sevenoaks it?s two below freezing and snowing. Louisa.
