Gues what ??? It’s absolou chucking it down with rain here STILL, it’s been all day with no let up what so ever. ....
Just goes to show how localised these events can be. Just a few miles away from you in Hastings/St Leonards on Sea the heavy rain earlier turned to snow about an hour or so ago and it's still snowing. No chance of settling though.

It's just weather - if it freezes we just have to deal with it
I wasn't being rude btw
No worries mate, I didn't think you were for one minute. Still very light snow falling here in the Hastings area. Some quite impressive snow totals being posted from local regions.

Stop being negative..
Have a word, I'm not being negative at all, just stating the bleedin obvious. Snow falling on soaking wet surfaces and freezing overnight

There's always a chance.. Temps will drop low enough after midnight in your area I think
If they do conditions will be diabolical in the morning, a mix of ice and slush at best.

Heavy rain here in Hastings/St Leonards on Sea for the last 2 hours is now finally turning to snow but I suspect zero chance of settling.

East Sussex isn’t in the eastern part of the region. It’s bounded by land to the north, east and west.
Did you read the original post Sunnijim was replying to ?

decent covering up on the ridge in hastings, between 4-6cm i reckon, that back building on the radar looks like it might hit us, hope it does and stays heavy.
Just a mile or so away here in St Leonards it's been 1cm at best....

Stopped on the seafront in Hastings/St Leonards now. Will be all for tonight here. So much for 9pm til 4am!
Half a centimetre on the wall... that's about it. Wasn't to be tonight but enjoy it whoever has a good amount!
Still snowing here in St Leonards but just a light covering on all surfaces. It's been a bit breezy though and feeling cold as a result. Lost my tv satellite signal here in the last half hour, presumably weather related.

Light snow here in Hastings/St Leonards on Sea settling on most surfaces now. Brighton live webcam showing snow settling right down on the seafront.

The first few tentative flakes of snow now falling here in St Leonards on Sea.( East Sussex ) I'm just 2 miles from the seafront so the fact it hasn't started as rain is a plus for this area.

Is Hastings about to get a bonus morning dusting?
Here in St Leonards on Sea I had a very brief and light graupel shower, a case of blink and you missed it.

Wow Thunder and lightning twice here in last minute, @Chelsea kings Road
Heavy Rain maybe a tad sleety
Having a pre match pint or two ? A nice unexpected bonus to get T & L as well.

After a bright and promising start today the weather here in St Leonards on Sea soon descended into another dismal grey and dreary afternoon.
I can cope with most types of weather all year round but the very low light levels at this time of year really do have a negative effect on me- 1

After a brief 15 - 20 minute spell of snow and graupel around 11.30am here in St Leonards-on-Sea the weather has since taken a vile turn for the worst.
Winds gusting to 30mph, rain coming in sideways under my garden canopy, currently 3.3c and light levels so low it was practically night time by 3.30pm.

It's been a thoroughly vile and depressing start to December here in St Leonards on Sea.
Winds gusting to 30 odd mph driving the incessant rain and drizzle sideways all day long and so dark all day I needed the outside lights on, never mind the indoor ones. I despise this kind of weather.- 2

This mornings early morning drive from St Leonards on Sea to a hospital appointment in Sidcup turned out to be less troublesome than I feared despite the weather.
The worst part of the journey as always is the 20 or so mile single carriageway section of the A21 from Battle northwards. Despite heavier traffic than usual it was a relief to see drivers using common sense and slowing down in the conditions.
Winds locally have been regularly gusting 30-40mph since 10am yesterday but rainfall has been nothing exceptional. I got back to the South Coast in time to enjoy watching a couple of surfers enjoying the waves at Rock-a-Nore in Hastings this afternoon.- 2

The first snow of the season here in St Leonards on Sea, just 2.2 miles from the coast and 81m above sea level. Settling on some surfaces.

Its a South East weather event.
It was a news article which mentioned a South East snow event which happened over 30 years ago, interesting though it was it hardly relevant to the current weather here in the South East !
On that note, it's still wet and windy down here on the South Coast. Quite probably the worst conditions we've had down here so far this Autumn.

It's a bit breezy down here on the South Coast this evening, winds gusting 30-40mph and blowing the rain in sideways but very mild temperature wise. 11.2c at this time of night in November is almost tropical.
I've just been reading some interesting posts on another well known weather website and they are hinting at some potentially quite severe weather for southern coastal counties tomorrow (Saturday ).
Might be worth keeping an eye on.

Sitting in my back garden yesterday evening I enjoyed a 25 minute lightning display, the first since July 27th and only the 4th time this year in this area. Whilst the lightning was very close by and at times vivid there was very little thunder audible.
A pleasant surprise at the end of what was a mild but properly autumnal day here on the South Coast.

A very respectable maximum today of 16.2c locally despite being mostly cloudy. Sitting on the seafront in Hastings this afternoon it felt anything but Autumnal with no breeze and mostly clear blue skies just a few miles to the east.
I've yet to record a frost here this Autumn, the closest call so far was 1.8c on October 31st. Nearby Herstmonceux reported -0.2c that night, making it the first frost there since March 29th if I'm not mistaken. -

I miss the shipping forecasts and listening to the recordings of them help me relax and go to sleep. As I was getting interested them they took it off. .......
The shipping forecasts are still broadcast daily on Radio 4 Katrine. Early morning and late evening :

It's been another decent day down here on the South Coast, feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine and still no frost here so far...

Evening all! Extremely fortunate all day on the East Sussex coast, a pic from the final stage of the Beachy Head marathon, we bought up the rear guard of those walking it , 7hrs 45mins, about 10min improvement on last year! I’ll stand down snow watch for here tonight since I don’t think we’re in with a shout;all the best for those who are though!
Well done for completing that and pleased the weather held out for all who took part.

Just a couple of miles inland here in St Leonards on Sea and the rain turned to snow about 90 minutes ago. Light to begin with but now moderate and starting to settle on all surfaces.
