Does it snow in London U.K.?

Question

I was wondering if it snows in London, because I am from Mexico and have only visited London once during summer and it was actually too warm for a European city, so this left me wondering if it gets cold enough in London for snow to occur during the winter months?

Snow in London Today!
The snow started falling at 4am GMT this morning (Thursday 8 February 2007) and, as you would expect, is causing travel chaos. Stansted Airport, City Airport, and Luton Airport are all closed this morning while they try to clear the snow from the runways. Gatwick Airport and Heathrow Airport are reporting delays.

If you are spending the day in London, wrap up warm and go and play in the snow! Send in photos of your snowmen!

Answer 5

A little snow in the winter. In the summer the perpetual overcast and misty rain usually keeps the city cool so you must have been there during an unusually warm spell.

Answer 6

The only place in the UK that "usually" get snow in winter is the far north of Scotland. Everywhere else gets snow occasionally but never regularly, and certainly not as far south as London.

Answer 7

yes!! wow you just wasted 5 points for asking the dumbest question. you already know that usually cold in a European City so of course it's going to snow when its winter. in the U.S its sometimes really hot in the summer and then in winter it sometimes snows up to like 9ft like in N.Y last winter. and last summer it was so hot that some people died cause of the heat.

Answer 8

Yes, it snows. I was there the last time and i had the same clothing on to capture the scenes with/without the snow.

Answer 9

Yes. When I was growing up in the 1940s it snowed every winter. Not so much now though.

Answer 10

Yeh it sometimes does snow but I dont think its seen snow since 2001 or something like that. the southern uk is about 5 degrees warmer than the north of the island, it snows every year in scotland!

Answer 11

Hehe, yep it snows in here. A bit, not much... And all London is paralysed for sometime as we don't really know how to cope with few snowflakes :o)
