drove to work yesterday at 5am with a covering of 2-3 inches of snow and today at 5am the car temperature gauge said the outside temperature was -11 brrrrrrrrrr!
Dis you get anything in Durrington? Just seeing how far in land it made it. We had a twenty minute flurry in West Worthing.
I think we had a few flakes, as there were some on the ground when we got home from walking the dog.
Some of the latest models has quite a lot of snow here from Tues to Thurs this week, fyi.
Excellent - how widespread through Sussex do you expect it to be?
To answer a few questions in 1, IF those particular model runs happen there would be extensive frontal snow anywhere south of Bristol to the Wash, with the heaviest possibly down here. This all depends upon the low that's developing to out south coming close to us, and a strong easterly wind developing.
Is there snow due in Brighton soon - nothing specific is forecast. We all need the wind to pick up from the east to get showers pushing over to Sussex. As I said, Tues to Thurs could see more organised and substantial snow.
A v S - I don't know where you live, but altitude often increases the amount of precipitation, and lowers the temp, so depending on where you are, it will help. Whether you can get home depends upon your commute, but I can't say anything at this range, as small changes in the model output could change things dramatically.
One thing to note, we might see some record low temps (for the time of year) in the UK over the next week.

Cheers Papa, live quite high up on outskirts in Brighton and i nearly didn't make it home at all last time it snowed so not keen on it. It is bloody freezing here compared to Central Brighton
We all know that if the temps are below freezing it doesn't take much to halt the buses, especially on the hilly routes round Brighton. I would say we will see some disruption at some point this week.
It was like driving through Narnia coming up past Bristol Airport this morning. It's amazing the difference a small bit of altitude makes to the settling and with the temperatures staying low over the weekend it's not gone anywhere. The car was registering -4 as I drove through the Winter wonderland
Sensing it was a bit chilly, I took the precaution of wearing a t-shirt under my thin shirt today. It's still not quite cold enough to consider a hat, gloves or a coat obviously.
I want some Narnia in Worthing please. The snowbound one obviously.
