No snow on Blackheath here, just sunshine.
They have put a circus tent up and there is a funfair on the heath.

Re: Snow at Blackheath 2011 June
Yes Vernon, we got the warning.
Heavy winds last night and the fall was on for young and old, many trees today now bare.
Great sunny morning but the rain arrived about 1400 hours and it has gone very dark and cold.
But I refuse to be beaten by it, still in shorts and Tee shirt with short sleeved jumper, you can acclimatize for the weather if you try.
