    I'm probably a bit crue for thinking this but I want a thunder storm more than i normally do tonight, my teeenage daughter has 2 of her mates staying over, and they are camping in the garden it a tent lol Does look like there is some in the channel about an hour away from here in west Sussex

    In my garden in haywards Heath it reached 28.0c at 1:54pm today Currently 24.5c Absolutely amazing weather for April, typical it would be right after the 2 week school holidays

    No rain here in Burgess Hill so far today, still time for that to change though I guess. I think we will be in the other extreme within 2 weeks, with temps in the mid 20's and talk of hosepipe bans

    LOL whats that all about? last time I checked you had stones on the beach anyway

    Haywards Heath Air temp in my back garden 0.0c (DP reading -3.3c) (garden weather station) Tarmac road out front of house reading 1.3c on the surface (read with laser thermometer) grass in back garden reading 1.5c on surface (laser thermometer) grass in back garden @ 1cm depth reading 3.3c (read using probe thermometer)

    I've noticed round here that i have 6mm of snow on cars, bins etc. but the snow on the grass and paths etc has melted away. I have a probe in the soil in the back garden 1cm deep and it's reading 3.4c, the air temp 10 feet above that probe is 0.0c, so i guess the warmth last week from the sun is still in the ground, my drive hasnt been gritted but is bone dry with zero snow, yet the cars have it on them

    Morning everyone We got a dusting here in Haywards Heath West Sussex, 6mm to be exact As it is the weekend I was up for taking the family to the snow with our sledges, can anyone help and tell me which direction I need to travel to find better snow enough for sledging?

    When the kids go to bed I'm thinking of going out for a drive in my 4x4 Hilux to find the snow with both my brothers, earlier today I thought it looked like within a hour of Haywards Heath (Maybe Box hill?) we would find good amount of snow, is that not looking the case now? Where is a high up place that will have good amount of snow tonight, nearest to Haywards Heath in West Sussex?

    I just took the temp of the road outside my house with a laser thermometer and it's 1.2c, with air temp on my garden weather station of -0.7c

    more times than not this happens, it did in the last spell 3 weeks ago, and has done many times in last 20 years of me radar/model watching on the internet. It's normally mid Sussex with Haywards Heath being the centre, I wonder if it's to do with the topography of the land with the south downs etc.

    I'm really looking forward to this as it is hitting at the weekend for once, where i am in haywards heath does not do well in snow, only had 3cm last time round. as it is the weekend when snow is due i will be able to take the kids out in the 4x4 hilux and go to find the snow with our sledges in the back

    my 7 year old just happened to look at what i was looking at on the laptop while i was getting him ready for bed, he then tells my girlfriend i'm looking at women with 3 boobies Best snow this weekend as that's what i've told them is happening now, and why everyone is getting excited on a weather forum, they now think i'm more mad than they did lol
  13. Rob Deacon
    LOL we are not back in the winter game are we? Maybe I will keep my snow tyres on a little longer yet...

    Anyone with a loft that's got pipes not lagged will likely have problems with them freezing, must be some poor plumbing work going on! (short cuts that they get away with while we had mild winters for a while) To over come poor lagging (or lack or any!) open your loft hatch so heat from house gets in to your loft. Also helps if you turn your timers off on your central heating and have heating set on at least 18c 24/7 till milder weather turn up. One thing you don't want is the frozen pipes to of split, then when it melts your have a flood in the loft which will wreak everything inside below.
  16. Rob Deacon
    yes per hour i believe
  17. Rob Deacon
    Surely Hayward's Heath isn't going to get back to back snow nights? Must be long time since thats happened if i do get more tonight, looks possible looking at the radar
  18. Rob Deacon
    Really ? still -2c inland in Sussex
  19. Rob Deacon
    Seems to me that the ones that got snow this time (myself included) are mostly the ones who missed out on the previous snow in December 2017. 3cm in Haywards Heath is best it's been since 2013 here, hoping more this morning but looking on radar it looks a bit to much to the East?
  20. Rob Deacon
    Yes the roads round Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill were all like that picture, the salt hasn't stopped it settling
  21. Rob Deacon
    Morning! About 3cm in Haywards Heath when I left for work in my 4x4 Hilux, Burgess Hill is little bit less at around 2cm. Are we expecting more this morning? my phone seems to think so
  22. Rob Deacon
    Hard to keep track of whats forecast with all the different apps and weather forecasts. Anyone think I might see my first settled snow in years? in Haywards Heath West Sussex? Met office have me just inside the amber warning right at the bottom part of the amber area, but sounds like the winds gone more North than expected?
  23. Rob Deacon
    You expecting any to get to Burgess Hill? Or is Mid Sussex Snow barrier still running flat out lol
  24. Rob Deacon
    Does anyone know if the mid Sussex Snow barrier is running tonight?
  25. Rob Deacon
    No I mean why don't the met office provide information for free to the BBC, as they both work for us? I don't pay my Mrs to cook dinner, oh hold on ?
