Radar says we're about to get it here in Uckfield, and as I type it is indeed getting heavier (both flake size and amount) and the breeze has kicked up a bit as well.We've got it!!
Settling as well.

Got snow (the sort that's just floating around in the breeze) and sun here in Uckfield all at the same time currently.
Ha. I believe @Papa Lazarou understands this stuff far better than me. I know enough to understand broadscale concepts (streamers ) and how we get snow into the UK, but I'm only able to read the charts the models spit out at a very superficial level.
Streamers off an easterly / north easterly wind are more common for us here. The holy grail for the SE coastline is for embedded cold air and then a channel low tracking off the coast. IIRC Dec 2010 had a channel low.
I think I'm older than you? In my school days, exactly that happened in Dec 1981 and I think Dec 1980, then there's the famous Friday 15 Dec 1967 when only the Sussex coast got a daytime 12" to 18" of snow from an unexpected blizzard. 200 folk sheltered in the White Horse, Rottingdean including my Nan and Aunt.
