It snows again! - This time properly...

Here is the email we got yesterday:

All,
The early warning for snow on Thursday morning has now been updated.
The risk of disruption during tomorrow morning's rush hour has been raised to 90% for the London area. The main area of concern is likely to be to the north and west of central London where 10-15 cm of snow is possible. Accumulations of 2 to 5 cm are expected to be widespread.
One concern is the rate at which snow could accumulate during tomorrow morning. The impact of this could lead to problems in keeping main routes clear (despite best efforts). Grid locking would then need to be considered as a major risk. Other impacts include disruption to power supplies due to ice accretion.

As the snow moves northwards during the day on Thursday, it is expected to turn to rain. Some thawing will occur but on Thursday night into Friday.
Staff need to take this weather warning into account when considering their journey to work tomorrow morning.

Here is what happened this morning:
