Nothing in Hove .... Yet!

Cacofonix · 26/02/2018 06:50

Snow here. Light dusting. South east London.

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 26/02/2018 06:51

I'm down for light snow and rain on Friday, gutted Sad

Oh well, it isn't over till it's over!

KeiraTwiceKnightley · 26/02/2018 06:51

I hate daytime snow - once I'm at work (14 miles of rural roads) I want it to hold off till I'm safely home. Really a bit anxious about getting stuck tomorrow. Grrr.

KeiraTwiceKnightley · 26/02/2018 06:52

That's Worcestershire - we've had our big snow this winter. No more please!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/02/2018 06:52

Morning all, just waking up :) Summary of the models. This may change....

Today looks primarily like a south eastern coastal affair including most of East Anglia, though showers popping up elsewhere.

Tuesday is when it really starts to get going. Any where north of East Anglia looks likely to be affected as well as East Anglia itself and a line through Kent and East and perhaps West Sussex. The real pulse of snow that looked likely to go through Lincolnshire and through the Midlands seems to be being modelled a little further north through Yorkshire and then diagonally down.

Wednesday, they take a bit of time to get going, but once again the NE becomes a real focus.

Thursday we need to bring things a bit earlier, with snow starting around Midday and then moving up through from the SW to cover most of England and Wales. The worst of this snow is across
cornwall, wales, central southern England and directly up through the Midlands from there.

Friday - after snowy night, perhaps turning to freezing rain at times, things start to warm up from the south (still some uncertainty but the met office also shows this now) and the system will eventually turn to rain and become milder.

Saturday looks like a drippy affair in the south.

Right, cup of tea time.

Slight sprinkling of snow on the ground here on the east coast of Scotland.

Cerrocoandblack · 26/02/2018 06:56

We have snow. But really weird gritty strange snow!

I’ve never seen snow like it

Sushiqueen · 26/02/2018 06:59

Woke up to snow and currently snowing pretty hard. In Lincolnshire.
Not good as I have to get dd to school for her GCSE food tech practical this morning!!

PilarTernera · 26/02/2018 07:00

A few flakes here in north London, nothing settling Just heading out for the morning walk with ddog. I wonder what she will make of it all.

LaContessaDiPlump · 26/02/2018 07:02

Thank you OYBBK!

P.S. DH works in weather prediction and reckons he must know you :) if you can think of a juggler that's (probably) him!

DrWhy · 26/02/2018 07:02

bluesky beat me to it! Light sorry sprinkling of snow in parts of NE Scotland but not enough to disrupt my journey to the airport and the only delayed flight so far has been to Norwich, which are always late because Eastern Airways are hopeless so doesn’t necessarily indicate snow.
I have worn my snow boots because I can walk between the hotel and the conference and avoid London snowmaggendon transport (I hope!). Mainly hoping I can get home on Thursday evening. Might miss a snow day at work - boo!

DebbieFiderer · 26/02/2018 07:03

Snowing in Surrey! Nothing much on the ground yet but it's getting heavier even in the 5 mins since I got out of bed.

fortyfourfeasts · 26/02/2018 07:03

Light snow in Nottingham! Packing for two nights in Derbyshire. Hoping we get back safe on Wednesday!
Thanks Kitten and Gloria, really really helpful having all the information you take the time to share. Stay safe everyone and enjoy the snow.

speakout · 26/02/2018 07:04

Please no snow today.
Snow tonight as hard as you like though.

Mumsnut · 26/02/2018 07:04

Snowing in Cobham! (But very fine, spaced out flakes)

gttia · 26/02/2018 07:05

Very light snow here in north Kent. Only just started. I hope it stops!!

No snow here (East Sussex, inland from Eastbourne) but v cloudy.

boldlygoingsomewhere · 26/02/2018 07:08

Light dusting of snow in Sheffield. I have a journey to make down the M1 to get back home to Sussex though. Could be interesting...

BertrandRussell · 26/02/2018 07:08

Nothing here near Sittingbourne.

Oogle · 26/02/2018 07:10

South coast and it looks like it’s going to avoid snowing here all week. We never get snow Sad

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/02/2018 07:10

I'm not aware of any jugglers Contessa Grin I hope he doesn't roll his eyes too much at me!

snowing where I am too, not enough to make a difference, but it's very dry, fluffy snow. I don't think I'll put my washing out!
