1 inch of snow for Miami.

...and don't get me wrong, a storm that looks and feels like a Category 2 storm might be possible for London, as i know some storms with sustained hurricane force winds (70+ MPH) have impacted the british isles, but it would inevitably be considered post-tropical at that point so it technically would not be a hurricane anymore (lack of a warm core) after it travels beyond the longitude of the Azores.

Snow in Miami. London's highest ever wind gust was 75 kts, so it would be pretty much impossible to have sustained winds that high.

I went for the Category 2 hurricane in London. However I feel if I had worded the question slightly differently (1 inch of snow ANYWHERE in Miami) I would lean the other way. This being, obviously, because the UHI of Miami causes the warmest temperatures in the city to occur at the Airport.

Yeah, because snow is much more likely to occur in Miami Beach or Key Biscayne.

Let's get real here, it's not going to snow in Miami anytime soon.

The waters are too warm and the soil is too warm for the snow to lie.

I'd say it'd be equally likely to accumulate to that depth in the locations mentioned above as the airport. However a rural area to the NW would have a far higher chance to accumulate Snow than any other region.

I voted for an inch of snow in Miami. Miami has seen snow before, and London has never seen a hurricane.
