No.

I've heard reports that the Sussex snow barrer is smoking and about to brake down, it's all thats stopping us get snow

It certainly seem that BH is sandwiched between the snow streamer further north and the heavier pulses further south.

What is interesting is that the dew point has dropped massively and even though it has been trying to snow all morning, we are seeing a lot of evaporation/sublimation in the strong, but dry winds. With this allied to the warm ground we are not seeing any great snow depths. This morning during the dog walk, there was a barrier layer between the warm ground and frozen snow layer.

Temp currently -0.2ºC. Dew point -4.3ºC

I think we are due another one shortly if going by what Bromley just got....

[Snowangel-MK]

load of crap here in Burgess Hill

I've visited BH quite a few times and wouldn't say it's that bad

It's blowing upwards outside my office window now!!!!

Maybe you should turn your signature picture downside up then

There has been quite a few heavy flurries here giving temporary dusting's...mostly while I was outside doing the hand over at the garage and picking up my new car, just thawing out with a cup a soup now

[sarah7meme]

will that beautiful red stuff in channel hit us? is it on course?

[West Sussex Kate]

will that beautiful red stuff in channel hit us? is it on course?

I was wondering about that.

[doofus]

_{Hi everyone, any chance of seeing anything wintry as far inland as Bucks this week?}

_{Intensely jealous of you lot further South!}

_{That wind brought tears to my eyes and then froze my eyelids open!}

[Southender]

First time I have had to say it today....But...

BLIZZARD!!!....

Well, Graupel Blizzard.

Is that a Grizzard?

It is but its battling against some pretty heavy headwinds in the opposite direction. We need a subtle change in direction or at least those winds to abate

Hi doofus, where in Bucks are you ?

Can you please put your location in your profile.....you can do this by clicking on your profile (top right hand corner), then clicking "edit profile" add your location and save - thanks

Agree with you on the windchill it's colder here than on a tin toilet seat on the shady side of a iceberg!

I hope so! I'm getting a bit too obsessive with the radar..have to pop out again in a bit so that'll give me a break

We need nightfall, the sudden drop in temps will stop the melt, hopefully freeze the water already on the floor and then fresh flakes on top!

[Jan_Bromley]

Hi Coast,

Eastbourne looks like it has been hammered today. Is that so?

[Terrence]

Dover down to Brighton must have a good covering now surely?!

It has been snowing there all morning?

at a guestimate 4cm in Eastbourne near the downs, but crappy little flakes so could be more

[Sweetdream]

Am traveling from Huntingdon cambridgeshire , which has light snow through Cambridge also encountered heavier snow then nothing, drove through dartford and again very heavy snow 21 miles from Maidstone and clear. 18 miles from Maidstone and light flurries seven oaks very grey. Hope those who have snow enjoy it and if you have a long journey drive carefully some areas getting hit with heavy snow.

[loopydreamer]

woah! It came over so dark here in chatham and now its bashing it down BLIZZZZARD!!!!

[Stevieray1]

Woa!!! Where did that come from???! Loads of snow falling and big proper flakes too

[Jo S]

really come over dark wind blowing,freezing snow blowing everywhere wow,so glad im at home x

[wchris_uk]

Been waiting all day for some decent snow but nothing as yet, hopefully later will be good.

[Met4Cast]

I've been dry slotted for about the 15th time this winter. That must be some type of record or something? There is snow 10 miles to my South and 10 miles to my North, absolutely epic!
