Warnings as heavy snow predicted Snow fell across the South East, including on Brighton beach Wintry weather in southern and eastern parts of England is expected to worsen over the next 24 hours. Snow and ice has already led to travel problems in the South East and London, with rail services severely disrupted and heavy congestion on some roads. Sixteen flights from Heathrow and Gatwick airports have been cancelled. The Highways Agency said more than 100 gritters had been out on motorways and trunk roads, as snow falls of up to 15cm (6in) are expected in Kent. An average of 2cm (0.8in) of snow fell across southern and eastern England overnight into Wednesday. Kent, Surrey and Sussex are predicted to see the worst of the coming weather. BBC weather forecaster Rob McElwee said cold winds off the North Sea would also mean continuing snow showers in parts of Scotland, north-east England and Yorkshire.

Thanks Deborah, I was too lazy to get up and check my road atlas, which is what I usually do if I don't recognise a place. My geography has improved no end since I joined these boards!
