Light snow is Croydon...

No..light shit is Croydon.

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Snowing quite heavily here in South East London, not really settling though...

 

[Paskman]

Raining at Gatwick - there were a few flurries initially, but they soon turned to the wet stuff.

The met office seem to have extended the snow warning to sussex... just need those temps to drop a bit... I still have faith... I think

 

[Leighgull]

Just started to snow in Leigh on Sea.

In that case, they may see the milder weather heading further West... however, it's now sleet in Croydon, so not a good sign.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Raining in Eastbourne, started as snow, went to sleet, now rain.

Hopefully the mild stuff goes West so we get the white stuff !!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

6C 43F with Rain in Newhaven.

6C 43F with Rain in Newhaven.

Certainly looks milder along the coastal strip.

4C being reported from Worthing to Brighton to Eastbourne.

Not seen any 6C report yet though.

6C 43F with Rain in Newhaven.

And in the milder west, 4C in Worthing. (only based with what my phone is saying via accuweather). I sometimes wonder whether you have your own micro climate that follows you about? Accuweather say 1C for Newhaven.

5C in Eastbourne, thats just gone up too - heavy drizzle now, almost as if it got a bit colder - it would fall as snow.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

It was 1C when I left Southwick at 9.30 am and it has been rising ever since and now 6c 43f, expected low tonight is now 3c 37f so it will be rain all the way as I predicted all along. It may irk some people but this time I got it right so don't be bitter.

What was that white stuff which fell (admittedly not much of it) early this morning then ? Everyone knew the Express was exaggerating anyway.

Uncle, I for one hope you are right, but it isn't over yet and as much as I detest seeing this thread it is more accurate than anything else I read.

Might be disappointing for the posters on the south coast. It's quite interesting when you go a bit further north and east.

 

[Northstandite]

Is this not what I said earlier when everyone disregarded it ? I said it was much milder than forecast and tomorrow will be 6C now and not 1C meaning we will get rain like yesterday.

Yep. The met office and you were correct .... 5.5c in central hove. With rounding, we'll give them the difference.


Another knock to metcheck, the Daily Express, and other bullshitters masquerading as 'scientists' and selling their 'professional' forecasts to farmers and the like.

Thats a regular situation in Sussex winters. Growing up in the 70's, and since then, there have been so many winter days here with heavy rain at 4c to 6c, knowing that if it just fell to 2c or below we'd have a blizzard. If only.

As i love the white stuff, we get our fix, from Alpine skiing holidays. The Alps are having another fantastic winter.

They are covering all bases.

Typically Crowborough might get some, but Worthing, Brighton, Burgess Hill, Lewes, Eastbourne .... Nil.
