It's nearly April as well, quite unusual in this global warming era. Just checked, just rain in Lancing.;)

The chance of a major snow event in the south on Wednesday seems to evaporated. The southern front which was predicted a few days ago to produce precipitation in southern counties seems to be not crossing the chanel now.

Had to drive around Worthing today as part of my work, and it became quite tricky. About an hour of heavy snow which settled quite quickly on all surfaces. Totally unexpected when looking at the BBC weather forecast yesterday.Seems it was quite localised as the news is not saying much about it.

Sussex didn't look like that last time I looked out of the window.

Looks like snow in the south apart from rain near the coast, where a lot us are:(

I think there will be no threat of snow tonight near the coast of Sussex looking at the BBC forecast :( I did see some wintry flakes earlier in the day in Worthing and also sleet that seemed to stay slushy on the ground due to the temperature. Probably the closest of a major snow event down here...

Part of the reason for the UK to have less snow in winter compared to mainland Europe apart from global warming is because the ocean surrounding us warms the weather fronts approaching us.

Getting warmer again next week. Global warming init. Makes it less likely than 20, 30 years ago.

We had ' the beast from the east' a few years ago, which produced a few flakes here and there, if i remember rightly.

Wet snow in lancing 12th April

Had a decent snow shower earlier in Worthing as I was delivering, it even started to settle a little bit, before promptly stopping, and a few periods of seeing a few flakes in the air on the breeze. Still this is the best snow event down here for 3 years apparently.

You guys see the white stuff a lot of the time. Sussex UK is an increasingly rare event.

It has turned to fine granules in Lancing and is starting to settle on cars and gardens.

Heavy enough to make the ground a bit wet now in Lancing. To be fair don't think the weather forecast said it would settle down here.

Quite sunny in Lancing at the moment.

Looking at BBC news there will be significant snow fall in the south east apart from a few miles area around the coast. Fook it I may go for a little drive tomorrow like a certain famous person to test my eye sight.

It looks like snow 3 miles away from the coast, but rain where I am then :nono:

Possible snow predicted this Sunday even at sea level in the Sussex area looking at the BBC news weather forecast.

Spain is usually hotter than the south coast of England, and we are a lot closer to the arctic. Its not fair that we avoid these snow events in recent years. I guess its down to the jet stream. Its just bloody cold here, full stop.

Last year was a damp squib, I think it was fair to say. Anyway, when was the last time it snowed on Christmas day in Sussex ? Not in my life time. Christmas cards should just have damp grey clouds and a temp of 9c on them.
