"Londoners have taken to social media to share their excitement about the first snow of the season, posting pictures and video from Twickenham to Cricklewood. You would think Londoners are cold-deprived from the way they have reacted to the fresh snowfall. One user on X said: I can't believe it's snowing in St.John's Wood, London. It's only November! Another user celebrated: first time seeing snow in london!!"
"Met Office Chief Forecaster Neil Armstrong explained: Cold Arctic air from the north is firmly in charge of the UK's weather, bringing the first notable cold snap of this autumn and giving an early taste of winter weather. As a result, winter hazards are likely through the next few days, with snow and ice a particular hazard, and the coldest conditions likely on Wednesday and Thursday."
"An amber alert for snow and ice was issued throughout Thursday in Yorkshire, while further warnings will come into force across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales, northern and southwest parts of England and much of Scotland in the coming days. The forecaster predicted that Londoners could expect sleet or even snow as temperatures continued to plummet. Whilst not all places will see lying snow, where showers are most frequent accumulations of 2-5 cm will be possible."
