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.

The lay of the land, where high ground is, where weather is coming in
from, the heat island effect etc must all have an effect - but
(Greater) London's a big place and different parts of it can certainly
experience rather different weather, no doubt. Plus of course south of
the river the suburban rail services are a thoroughly enmeshed part of
the wider rail network, which is third rail powered and thus rather
more susceptible to problems when the snow and ice comes.
