Dig out your hats, coats and scarfs .... There is a high risk of severe weather affecting
parts of east and southeastern England during Friday (tomorrow). Heavy
snow showers will give accumulations of 5-10cm on low ground and 15-20cm
over hills. Some drifting snow is likely in the strong north to
northeasterly wind. This could cause disruption to travel networks.
Outdoor events may also be affected by the snow.
