  1. I'm in the same area as you and was up on the top of Race Hill earlier. About 10cm up there, but I agree 8 inches (20cm) of lying snow in Brighton seems a little unlikely
  2. Which part of Brighton are you in ? I'm in one of the hillier areas and we have about 8cm. I think 8 inches is about 20cm !
  3. Fairly wet in city centre, but on all the hillier parts it's proper crunchy stuff.
  4. A couple of pictures emailed to me by a colleague in Storrington, West Sussex. I guess he has a reasonable excuse in not driving to the office in Brighton !
  5. I think you will find that Kent is the exception. Large areas of Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex have over 20cm of snow. Certainly not bog standard !
  6. I think later in the night when the wind swings more towards the east, it will change back. Can't complain though, already had five days of lying snow pre -Christmas. Turning more to snow again now as it gets heavier
  7. 4cm of snow and now heavy rain ! Temperature up and down like a yo-yo between 0.4c and 2c
  8. I don't think that's the reason mate, the air is circulating around a depression in the Channel, not a true southerly all the way from France ! We now have heavy graupel in amongst the softer snow.
  9. We have an onshore flow here in Brighton too and the temperature has fallen from 2c to 0.4c in the last hour and from sleety rain we now have heavy snow and about 2cm lying
  10. Thanks. I have a feeling it may well be rain to the South of the Downs. Temperature has risen to almost 3c now !
  11. Do you think it is more likely to be rain on the Sussex coast though ? I note that it is raining in the Portsmouth / Southampton area
  12. Is there any chance you could interpret that a little please, as I'm not sure what all the colours mean ? Not helped by the fact that I'm colour-blind ! Thanks
  13. You misunderstand. I'm not confused about the quantity of snow. I was confused by the fact that the NetWeather site said almost zero snow (based on the GFS) and the previous poster was expecting travel problems (based on the GFS output). There is only one GFS output, so it can only be showing one thing.
  14. I have to say I'm finding this all a bit confusing. The netweather 10 day outlook (which I believe is from the GFS output) whilst showing over 90% chance of snow for Brighton on most days this week (including tomorrow), the actual quantity is shown at just 1 or 2 mm - not enough to cause any problem at all. At the same time, you say that GFS suggests travel would be difficult in the SE for 7-9th, or do you believe it is just an EA, Essex, Kent event ?
  15. That wasn't really the point I was making. I was responding to a post that was commenting that they couldn't see any mild, so I was just showing him where it was. Certainly the trend over recent days has to increase the temperatures over the South early next week and delay the return of the cold.
  16. A bit of a 'downgrade' for the south of the UK. Only a couple of days ago GFS was showing 3 or 4 c for early next week, now into double figures!
  17. I'm confused now. I thought the high 'couldn't sink'. Looks like it's doing just that to me with westerlies just north of Scotland http://www.wzkarten....s/Rtavn2761.png
  18. The temperature has dropped from a peak of 5c just before noon to just 2.3c now. Heavy rain continues to be mixed with soft slushy hail, which is now being deposited on many surfaces.
  19. Torrential rain here has now turned to hail and is settling on cars.
  20. I concur with that. Just measured 17cm level snow in back garden. Between 11pm and midnight last night it was A-maze-ing !
  21. Still snowing heavily in Brighton. About 5 inches of snow in the garden and drifts up side wall to about 12 inches.
  22. Still snowing heavily in Brighton and some good accummulation. Quite gusty winds too, so starting to drift a bit
