At a sports quiz some years ago a question was correctly answered that West Broms ground is the highest (above sea level) ground in the English football league and I feel compelled to tell people this whenever West Brom is mentioned, perhaps this time there is some relevance to saying it ......

You're moving the goalposts a little now aren't you, you have moved away from temps. to precipitation and then to lying snow and then to its depth it's a big ask for the coast of Sussex to ever really satisfy your demands. It was genuinely cold, exceptionally so for March and it was generally...

Don't make this thread toxic mate, you don't need to bring your inappropriate name calling over to here as well ...................

Ha ah, well you would hardly forecast 8 degrees and heavy snow would you ......

Perhaps, but this is hardly a vindication of your own position, the weather has and continues to be quite extraordinary with frigid temps that are exceptional for the time of year. The snow to some extent is irrelevent, you basically said that this set up couldnt ever deliver what it has and...

Be fair Unc, we have had a few days of genuine cold and a bit of snow, including waking up to snow yesterday and continued snow throughout the morning, woke up today again to another slight covering not bad for the end of February even you must admit that. I have just drove over Woodingdean and...

I seem to recall many years ago being told that in these circumstances it is evaporation rather than a thaw, a few laws of physics involved, but that might have been a dream and I am sure Papa or one of the other specialists might confirm.

Ths is just the first day of real cold and risk of snow increasing throughout the next few days, the breakdown at the end of the week looks quickly returning to less cold weather with some chance of heavier snow before that milder air returns. Not sure why people I already getting disappointed...

The cold will get here thats for sure, thats the first hurdle then after who knows but quite a brave forecast from the Met Office, this isnt a speculative Daily Express headline but the Met Office so it's got me thinking, I am hoping for a 'snowday' with friends unable to make it to work so to...

Don't panic Unc, don't panic ...........

I agree with Bozza, but US does make me smile although I am a cold/snow lover and late February absolutely can deliver that's just a fact but is always unlikely so he is backing an odds on favourite, to be fair he has put some specific temps. for the next fortnight that is totally accountable...

I totally agrre on the sentiment, but isnt the average for January lower than 7 c ??

I have to say that I have some sympathy for @UncleSpielberg with the latest debacle. It was nice to have an hour or so of wet snow, but the media hype prior, during and after was quite embarassing, culminating with BBC Sussex weather forecast the night after the 'event' saying that although...

Accepting we cannot be sure and nothing imminently due for Sussex in terms of snow, but although there is a colder northerly drag within a reliable timeframe and some longer term colder evolution outside of a reliable timeframe, where is this return of SW's after a couple of weeks within the...

Come on Unc, you always back the favourite anyway so you're always likely to get more hits than not, also your broad analysis makes your forecasts skewed in your favour. You just say it isnt going to be cold sometimes irrespective of the charts or science further upstream, something you cannot...

Your position intrigues me, accepting that you are backing the overwhelming favourite of non cold or sever cold weather due to our geographic credentials, why would any current charts necessarily indicate anything mild or cold further upstream. Forecasters far more qualified and with more...

Well as I cold lover and someone that understands charts without claiming kowing how they evolve, I have looked at all of the current data and I just cannot see where you are finding these colder conditions. Last weeks charts were encouraging, slight easterly blocking which for me always offers...

My kids were born in 92 and 96, there came a time when I could hardly see a time when they would even go sledging, it was all so mild, horrible stuff. Then 2010 - 2013 like the late 70's and 80's for me, when there was already decent snow lying and some more on the way, the anticipation of...
