Only other explanation I can see is the snow kent way is expected to drift west and maybe south a little but that doesn’t seem that likely

Wind direction on the met office site shows the wind heading our way and pushing south slightly as it goes too.

Mrs Hut school was open the closed - not much snow here in BN43 so Tescos shopping it is

Did nt stop them having the mother of all snowball fights yesterday lunchtime apparently!

I wonder if they can’t get the minimum number of staff needed to cover both campuses. I agree it’s a bit pathetic though as I am sitting on a train to London.

According to the Argus, some other Brighon schools have closed:

Red warning now for Somerset, Devon and South Wales.

The school leadership is often female, with predominantly female staff. Early in the week they typically caught unaware by the few cms of snow so kept schools open, rightly. As the week has progressed and the females have whined on they have built themselves into a frenzy leading to closing schools just because there is snow forecast 50 miles away. They just look at the news and say it’s snowy! Clueless.

There is no reason to close any schools on the south coast today, it’s all gone/hasn’t appeared.

Could have been written by me this morning...

School closed in BN20 because of the weather forecast.

Schools nearer the seafront, are located in places where all the snow has long since melted.

Snow to the south of us,
Blizzards to the north,
Here we are, stuck in the middle with none.

Can’t really see the roads becoming so treacherous that people can’t get home between 3-4pm......not with cars driving on them all day !

Depends where you live I guess. If you live down one of the roads that don't have lots of cars going up & down them then you're in trouble. I also remember back in 2012 or 2013 having to drive from Hove to Patcham to pick up my kids from nursery when it started snowing. By the time I had picked them up all the roads heading back down into Hove were undrivable

Looks like little or no snow here today or tomorrow and then milder by saturday, so overall it has been disappointing for snow, 1 inch in total since monday, we seem to have just missed out again on any real snow, too far west, too far east, too far north, too far south, about an inch in total whereas 4 - 18 inches seems to have been the norm. Never mind

Seahaven academy (tideway) open, yet peacehaven closed.

Pathetic isn't it?! My boys went off to Seahaven this morning on the bus quite happily & easily. I work next to PCS in Peacehaven, and theres barely any snow left anywhere in the surrounding roads!! Heard Longhill is shut too. Ridiculous.

If you are lucky it may, just.
I have lived in Plymouth for 15 years and it has snowed and laid once, eight years ago, you could even count the amount of hard frosts we have had in that time on two Norwich supporters hands.
We could have 20cm of snow starting at noon and going on through to friday and its chuffing freezing, my pastie froze yesterday,50cm forecast for Dartmoor.
Behind all this is freezing rain, then 10 degrees by Friday afternoon.

 

[dangull]

Yep close to having a real snow event like other areas of the country. In the end most of Sussex just bloody cold with a dusting or 2 centimetres. Bit disappointing in the end after all the hype.

Snow is unpredictable & conditions can change very rapidly. I can remember picking my children up from school once, to take them for dental checkups, just 4 miles away. We got to the dentist at 4.30, left 15 mins later, heading back to the bus stop. In that time it had started snowing, was already laying, and buses getting stuck.
We travelled just a mile, and the bus couldn't go any further.
We had to walk, getting home after 7pm with snow up to my knees.
