London Advice?

[przed]

I'm packing up for the flight to London tomorrow, and the weather is showing as snow for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

For those of you in London or area, do you have any idea if this is going to be a "light dusting, isn't it pretty" sort of snow, or a "yes, you do need boots for this" sort of snow?

I can go either way (I'm Canadian; I have several shades of serious winter boots) but if I can get away with the nice leather shoes I was originally planning on, that's more room in the suitcase for, ya know, buying stuff.

ETA: The Beeb's forecast for the weekend says, and I quote: "Sunny or clear spells but also showers of rain, sleet or snow with a risk of more general wintry precipitation for a time."

Does "more general wintry precipitation" = boots?

(I'm totally stealing that phrase. "Is there some general wintry precipitation coming?" That'll go down a treat with a snowstorm on the way.)

If you click on through you'll see "the biggest snow fall in 18 years." Yep, a couple of inches.
