It is still possible for someone somewhere in this region to wake up to a dusting of snow, with perhaps locally 2-4cm where the heaviest showers occur. However the main band of showers should stay to the east limiting the Snowfall here. There is also the chance of a snow shower through the day on Tuesday, perhaps giving temporary accumulations from time to time.
The main issue tomorrow morning is likely to be the Freezing fog that will likely develop. This fog could be dense and also could cause some problems with black ice. Please be careful if you have to drive tomorrow morning in the fog as conditions could be worse than they might seem.

I hate to say that just after i posted to say that there would be no more snow till February, the models have changed again. Because of the uncertainty surrounding this, at this moment in time over night Tuesday into Wednesday could see some potential disruptive snow heading our way. We will clear this up tomorrow evening, however at the moment 2-4cm is likely and 5-10 is possible locally. Please stay tuned to the forecast especially as temperatures are expected to be well below freezing anyway leading to potentially ice conditions.
We will update you again tomorrow evening! Yes, that is right on Sunday morning many of you will have woken up to scenes of snow. Totals Ranged from Near nothing in Hampstead, to 2cm in Finchley, to 4cm in Barnet.
At the moment no significant snow is in the forecast, however the outlook shows the potential for a significant cold snap before, or Just after valentines day!!! Models at the moment are signalling towards a possible cold snap starting in around 10 days time and then eventually by around the 20th bringing potentially some significant snowfall.
