Ask them Everyone on here is happy to help others and they all love talking about the weather, and not just from an imby perspective. Unless you get snow and I don’t..... I might not be so helpful then -

I don’t post very often but I’ve been a member since 2012 and I read all the time. I’d be really sad if this board got split. Valued posters from north and south of the region and a vibrant community feel. When the board was split during the beast last year it lost something imho. -

Those that have snow falling.... is it settling? We just moved to Crowborough, 183ft ASL so I’m kind of hoping a good winter!! -
Snowing properly in TW now. Was so busy sulking that it wasn’t here yet I didn’t look out for half an hour or so. Everything is white! Yay!

Nothing here in TW yet, but oh my goodness it’s cold! Can see dark clouds and some precipitation in the distance to the north. Come on snow..... kids are going to be gutted when I wake them up.

Is it all off then?? I’ve been away all weekend, just got home after leaving husband a list of preparations to make. He’s been out and got logs, candles, wrapped the outside taps up and now I’ve got to tell him it’s not happening??? I was looking forward to sitting down to watch the radar now and being snowed in in the morning??? Please tell me we are still getting some snow! My kids may never speak to me again. ?? -

Couldn’t sleep, so had a cup of tea and looked at the models. Just placed grocery order for delivery.... tinned things, candles, bottled water. As soon as my mum is awake I’m going to organise one for her too, she’s almost 70 so I don’t want her worrying about running out of food. There, that’s probably jinxed it. Although actually despite spending the last ten years desperate for this weather I’m now a bit scared! -

I must admit that I am starting to get excited.... I may go and panic buy essential things tomorrow. Like gin. And sledges! -

Sleet here! Wasn’t expecting that and BBC has sleet again at 10. Was a beautiful day today, took the kids to the beach at Shoreham and took some lovely photos. There is something about the light on a cold sunny day in February. Stopped now.
