Sleeting (quite heavily) in the uplands of BN2. Attempting to lay

Good example today of the effect of (modest) altitude - at about 125m in Woodingdean there was a small covering of icy snow, drop down to the edge of Ovingdean at 75m and there was virtually nothing, back up to the TV mast above Woodingdean at about 200m and there was a decent covering.

Netweather goons are going BERSERK What gives?

Well, I can't follow most of it but after talking about 'snowmeggedon' this afternoon and 'the best charts posted in the internet era' a - apparently - bad 'ECM' model run this evening and the samaritans are now monitoring the thread Still, they're 100% sure that the snow will be here in 6...

Am I right in saying if the last couple of days weather had been in a couple of months time instead - the fabled 'Thames Streamer' might have come into play? Anyway, apologies for bouncing this - stand at ease.....

What constitutes a 'non-event'? BN2 got a light covering yesterday and there was more overnight and it's very slightly snowing now. I'm not snowed in for a week but it's no 'non event'.

I'm ready for spring now. Snow had its big chance a couple of weeks ago and fluffed it's lines for most of sussex

I dunno. Standing snow since Tuesday and bitterly cold all week. No snowmaggedon but colder than some 'forecasters' who said it would be like club tropicana

Is this the most disappointing French import into Brighton since Florent Chaigneau?

The Portuguese and their 'storm Emma' need to have a word with themselves. Rubbish

Anything coming up from France seems to be fizzling out? http://www.weathercast.co.uk/radar/france.html

Yep, coming down pretty hard in woodingdean

The radar looks like the showers are more aligned to pass over Brighton & Hove now?

Showers eh? What a bloody lottery. Seemingly not much else fell overnight in BN2.
