As always, Brighton & Hove Buses' website gives a fairly detailed picture of how things are in their operating area. And they update it regularly.

Was very odd last night how localised the weather can be. In Southwick early evening & it was pouring with rain. Drove straight up to Falmer for a job and there was heavy snow falling.
The A23 towards Warninglid/Handcross was a nightmare with vehicles spinning off or getting stuck on the hill: I spent hours walking round with a shovel trying to dig cars out or push them along. Half the cars were full of revellers coming back from Brighton so there was the edifying sight of groups of drunken girls in short skirts & high heels attempting to push their mates' wheelspinning cars out of the snow as the driver completely failed to understand the principle of using a higher gear under the circumstances
Crawley had plenty of snow, Haywards Heath a decent amount, Burgess Hill slightly less (but still more than Brighton
)

Is this the first ever recorded sighting of the word "reveller" in a piece written by someone other than a journalist?

Had crazy amounts of snow here In Southend. About 10-12 inches and drifting double that. Snowed from 10 last night until about 7 this morning.
My mum in portslade has serious snow envy.

Couldn't believe how soon everything was white heading North out of Worthing this evening.
Had a little unintended fun in the car in a small lane near Gatwick - thought I was stuck for a while - there was a decent amount there.
And then, heading West it thinned out to nothing.
I can't believe my luck in there being none where I was all weekend and none at home.

Mark Cross Church of England Primary School is the only school up that way to announce it will be closed tomorrow. Uckfield Community Technology College will be OPEN to all year groups starting at 10am, lesson 2, because of the forecast of icy road conditions for school buses first thing.

Hello.
It's not much but the latest GFS ensemble is showing 100% prob of snow for 2 periods later in the week. It doesn't look like much snow for Worthing (the grid point I chose for this) but it's the 1st time I've seen 100% on the new ensemble.

Not had a sausage in Shoreham, so no point in my pics.

I'm sure i'm not the first to ask but can you steer me in the direction of the source of these charts Papa? I read with interest and would love to be able to learn how to analyse or produce these.

which direction will this come from?
i always think we get the worst (best) snow if it comes from the east

It's all about the bikes
I like the 100% next to the snow flake. Any idea how much we can expect?
