Greetings from oop north. We are currently experiencing Thundersnow - didn't even knew it existed. Weird.

I took this yesterday showing clouds just South of Worthing. I guess it’s similar now?

It's very rare, but we've had it here before. Very interesting phenomena

Only 3 claps since 4.30, so I should have said "sporadic" thundersnow. If it becomes more prolific I will try to capture it.

If he doesn't absolutely have to go then he is a bit of an idiot. If it was just him I'd let him go and bugger the consequences, but with 2 young kids ... blimey. Things may be just fine, but why risk it if you don't have to.

I am amazed that it can happen - I had always assumed that you needed high humidity for thunder.

Just higher instability
One measure of the inherent instability of the air is CAPE which this chart shows an area of enhanced instability off Newcastle about now.

Ah, thanks very much for that. We have approx 4 inches of snow here (County Durham at the edge of the North Pennines) at the moment, with more on the way.

Why are the forcasts so bloody varied for Brighton
Thursday snow between BBC 7-9am / Sky says between 5-9am
Friday snow between BBC 8am-8pm / Sky none ?
As for the met office website it says "Sorry -We're experiencing a problem getting forecast data. Please refresh the page or try again in a few minutes"
They haven't got a scobby doo have they

Had an extra 1 cm last night in Uckfield on top of our 4+ inches from Tuesday night / Wednesday morning. We'd lost a good chunk of the base Wednesday afternoon when the sun came out, though. Made my work commute this morning (only took 3 hours thanks to the A22 having areas around the county borders that weren't properly gritted and an accident on the M25 that closed it briefly). Will be heading home early tonight as I expect the A22 will still have treacherous areas, then WFH tomorrow and Friday (always do on Friday's, just tomorrow that's the bonus).
That is insane. Share that photo on social media.
I drove back from -1 Brighton to -5.5 Lewes at 9pm last night and thought it would drop a bit further but -15.5!!
Sussex Uni weather station says it got down to -6 at Falmer last night:

looking at the latest models (look at me go!!) the weather for tomorrow has changed with a much higher chance of snow all day for Sussex and even the BBC has now changed in the last hour to snow tomorrow having said previously none till Friday
Earlier on the met office had snow from 5am to 1pm tomorrow for newhaven
