It's the worst snowfall I've seen for a very long time.


Yet in north and west london theres virtually bugger all. Strange
how these snowstorms can be so localised yet so severe.


It looks like a South East London problem only.


That's to rather narrow it down though - south and (south)east of
London as well as just SE London were affected - the criticism of
gritting was being particularly levelled at the Boroughs of Bromley,
Croydon and Sutton, the latter being to the SW (or indeed SSW) of
course - the SE London suburban rail network meanwhile is of course
fundamentally intertwined with the commuter lines coming in from Kent
and Sussex, which have suffered big problems (Kent in particular). The
major roads leading out from and circling the SE fringe - M25, M20,
M26, A2, A20 - were particularly hit last night (as was the A23 a bit
further round), and may well be tonight too.
