Don't rub it even more for Southern passengers, I say, as I sit on a short-formed Southeastern train operated by the same company.

And we all know what Southeastern do when one snowflake hits the line...

Ahh actual snowflakes rather than an inter-generational insult.

Jon Snow: last night a woman phoned in to say it would be raining Fish tomorrow. We'd just like to assure you there is no chance of that... etc

God (Southern region) would like to apologise for the cancellation of your expected snow. This is due to the wrong type of forecast. Meanwhile we've had a SPAD incident and the rain will be colliding with thunder and lightning at Watford Junction before heading south.

Yes - but you have done a snow related post, instead of rising above it all by doing one about road markings in Pimlico, or the lamp posts of Nunhead.

Anyway if it does snow then we can have the 'xxxx has snow every year and they can manage blah blah blah' news report, also even crap ares of London can look rather nice, something normally only possible by taking illegal substances - or gentrification.

Plus we have the new tradition of filming motorists struggling up hills, hoping for that 'You Tube' moment.

After you have lived through the 1963 big freeze, you tend to look with destain at such headlines.😀

BREAKING : Country that normally experiences winter weather; experiences winter weather.

Geofftech | 12.01.17 - 8:45 a.m. | #

No news day. Either DG has not got out recently, or it is a good day to bury something controversial.

scrumpy | 12.01.17 - 9:28 a.m. | #

According to Richard Curtis movies, London is covered in a thick coat of snow for 3 months of the year.

Adrian | 12.01.17 - 9:49 a.m. | #

Ah bugger! I left my car parked in the road yesterday...

Southern Heights (Light Railway) | 12.01.17 - 9:52 a.m. | #

The folks at Heathrow are well ahead of the game. They have cancelled loads of flights in anticipation of bad weather. Too bad if it doesn't actually happen.

Excellent. I'll be coming back to follow the updates during the day. Bring on the snow!

Weather Alert!...in about 5-7 months time a HEATWAVE is due. And remember if far easier to keep warm than it is to keep cool!

Grumpy Anon | 12.01.17 - 12:21 p.m. | #

I love the idea of a Midtown Ice Rink at the British Museum with several exciting extras ...

Pippa | 12.01.17 - 12:41 p.m. | #

Who ever believes anything the Daily Express has as a headline on its front page.

Tones | 12.01.17 - 1:33 p.m. | #

@Grumpy Anon - Thanks for the heatwave heads up, you're faster than DG. Have informed LHR who are drawing up cancelling flights as we speak and got my electric fan up from the cellar.

Chris | 12.01.17 - 2:39 p.m. | #

Still, at least the creme eggs are already in the supermakets...yummy

E | 12.01.17 - 2:56 p.m. | #

OMG. I'm due to take my tube train out at 22:00 tomorrow. Should I leave now?

Richie | 12.01.17 - 3:51 p.m. | #

@ Richie - I guess you'll just have to put snow shoes onto the poor old dear.

B | 12.01.17 - 4:07 p.m. | #

Any snow in London yet? Stopped raining here in the Vale of Gloucester so it's coming your way!

R | 12.01.17 - 5:00 p.m. | #

On days like today the UK Snow Map http://uksnowmap.com/ is interesting to look at.

James Armitage | Homepage | 12.01.17 - 5:19 p.m. | #

Reading this on the train. Look out the window and rather ironically it's snowing...

LondonCyclist | 12.01.17 - 5:29 p.m. | #

@ B ...either that or call-in "sick"

Ultra-Man | 12.01.17 - 5:32 p.m. | #

London 17:35 update: looks like sleet to me, will that do?

OnTheBus | 12.01.17 - 5:35 p.m. | #

It IS snowing where I am now!

Greg S | 12.01.17 - 5:37 p.m. | #

It's snowing in Ealing. But still not cold enough to stick.

HoosierSands | Homepage | 12.01.17 - 5:44 p.m. | #

I'm looking forward to the 6pm update dgeezer.

louise | 12.01.17 - 5:47 p.m. | #

Snowing at The Coven since 5pm.
40 miles from you as the crow flies.
Bad luck.

Blue Witch | Homepage | 12.01.17 - 6:19 p.m. | #

Anyone known how many snow-ploughs are available for use in London? From what I gather it...zero! (apart from those at Heathrow Airport)

InfoTech | 12.01.17 - 6:58 p.m. | #

Snowploughs? Pointless. It never really snows enough to need them and if it did they'd be useless for a constricted place like London.

Chris | 12.01.17 - 7:48 p.m. | #

Radio London's breakfast show reached a new low today in its desperate attempts to fill airtime without any music or journalists. It basically consisted of encouraging listeners to ring in and say (a) if they thought it would snow and (b) how this country isn't as well prepared for snow as are countries which get more snow.

See never trust a news story in the Daily Express

This wolf had no teeth. Maybe the next one will.

Brilliantly vicious parodies DG. But you'll have to lower your writing standards a lot more than that if you want to be fully convincing...

misspiggy | 13.01.17 - 12:50 a.m. | #

It was really snowing in big flakes at Blackfriars, but then I got to Hammersmith, and it was just rain.

Greg | 13.01.17 - 7:57 a.m. | #

I hope you spotted that at least one of the 'vicious parodies' was in fact a direct copy from the Time Out blog.

diamond geezer | Homepage | 13.01.17 - 10:02 a.m. | #

A bit late but it's snowing here in Brixton

Bryn Davies | 13.01.17 - 10:21 a.m. | #

No mention of a Met Office Yellow Snow Warning?

Never eat yellow snow.

Temp | 13.01.17 - 10:30 a.m. | #

Not too far from you, but nearly slid over taking the dog for a walk this morning. Came home instead!
