Does it snow in December in London?

Answer 1

Yes, it definitely snows in London, England. In 1963 the Thames froze over and the city had snowfall of up to 14 inches with drifts of up to 6 feet. In January 2003 London had its heaviest snowfall in over 10 years, with accumulation of about an inch (2cm).

In-fact today (2nd February 2009) there is a giant blanket of snow over London and the rest of England. It is so bad that the famous London Underground is shut in various different places and the Big red Buses are also not running. It is apparently the worst snow in England for 18 years! It is about 3 to 4 inches out there and my view out of the window is blocked by snowfall! There are the occasionally mini snowstorm with look great but surely must hurt to be in!

AnswerThe above are extreme examples. Snow is not the norm in any part of the UK, except possibly mountainous areas.

It is not rare for snow, I'm Canadian but all over the news there is tones of stuff about Scotland having over 2-3 feet of snow

Improved AnswerI beg your pardon, but snow is very common in the UK, especially Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of Northern England. In fact, there is snow outside in London right now - 17th December 2010.

The image in the related link was taken last winter in January. So yes, it DOES snow in London and it stays there for a while because our salt gritters aren't very good at doing their jobs.

Improved AnswerI beg your pardon ;-) 'last winter in January' cited above is actually 2010 and yes now dec 2010 again London's frozen. In the last few decades, not considering the couple of extreme examples cited above, did London ever get snow twice like this in the same year or south England for that matter? I bet it never happened. So I don't think it's normal for south England to have so much snow and no wonder the salt gritters aren't any good because they never thought they ever needed to handle this much.

Answer 2

Yes but it is not very predictable. Sereral years of heavy snow in the winter might be followed by serveral years of no snow at all. Generaly there is more snow in the North and less in the South. Some of the highest peaks in Scotland may see snow on them all year round. The whole of Scotland as a whole has more snow than the rest of the UK.
