Got the 7.20 from Hove into LB and it was about 20 mins late in, so pretty good. Is there more snow falling in Sussex?

Yes. We're forecast quite a bit today.
Conversations with strangers about the weather are expected to become even more tedious thanks to heavy snow fall in the south-east over the last 24 hours.
“What about this weather, eh?” has long been the staple fall-back question for awkward silences among strangers forced together for short periods of time.
However, recent heavy snowfall has ensured the subsequent conversations will be considerably more involved and significantly less interesting than normally expected at this time of year.
Forecasters are predicting the standard of conversation to get worse over the weekend, peaking on Sunday at levels of tear-inducing banality not seen since November last year.
Reports suggest that standard responses to weather conversations such as, “It is a bit cold isn’t it,” or “I hope it gets better by the weekend,” are being replaced by lengthy diatribes about the effect a bit of frozen rain has had on the lives.
One London commuter told us, “I mentioned the snow to one guy on the train this morning and he spent fifteen minutes regaling me of the seemingly Herculean efforts he had made to get into work.”
“Honestly, it was so dull I considered self-harming just to make the pain in my ears go away.”
“If you can’t respond with a couple of well-worn weather-based platitudes, then I’m not interested in talking to you.”
Stories of one-upmanship among commuters has filtered through with work based weather conversations showing rapidly escalating levels of tedium.
“I went for a coffee and I overheard three people arguing over who had struggled the most to get into work that morning.”
“One had to dig himself out of his house, one had walked two miles in the snow, I’m not sure about the third one, I zoned out by that point - I only came to when Sally from accounts shook me awake half an hour later.”
Weather commentators have explained the phenomenon of excruciatingly dull snow conversations, saying, “Unlike the Eskimos, we only have one word for snow, and that’s because it’s f***ing boring.”

Looks like that weather forecast video you posted earlier on the thread may actually come true, Saturday and Sunday are looking to be days full of heavy snow.

Looks like it could get interesting as the low pulls south bringing the batch North of London and in Essex down towards us.

Heavy in Lewes now. Just been sledging on the Downs behind. Only problem is we have no leccy so am relying on portable DAB for the cricket. Missus tried to drive into Brighton with eldest son who goes to BHASVIC but only made it just past the prison before having to leave car at friends house and now walking back.
Enjoy. PG

We've got f*** all snow were I am, but my girlfriend who lives in Willingdon, only 5/10 minutes away, is basically snowed in?
