Britain braced for new cold snap as snowstorms gather.
(From Guardian Unlimited)
Britain is standing by for more icy weather tonight as snowstorms move in from the North Sea where they have been gathering since earlty this morning.
Arctic temperatures will accompany a front that looks certain to make this winter the coldest for 13 years.
The Met office said it was classifying tomorrow's expected snowfall as an "extreme weather event". The warning covers the south-east of England, including London.
"This is likely to be the heaviest and most widespread snowfall across England since January 2003," Tom Defty, the head of forecasting operations at MetService, said.
"Parts of south-east England, including London and eastern England, will see anywhere from 10cm to 15cm [of snow], and perhaps above 20cm over the higher ground."
He said the worst of the snow would arrive in Kent tomorrow morning before spreading north and west during the afternoon.
