Well im calling this the biggest let down and complete non event down here, weve had light snow all day and not one iota of it has settled.
If it snows and the temperature is zero, the dew point is well into the negative, the uppers are around mimus 10 and its STILL not settling then I might as well just give up hope of ever seeing snow falling and settling here.
Makes no sense at all.
I think Eastbourne's primary problem was that it rained for hours before it snowed so it was always going to struggle. We have got a bit of laying snow now though.

Moderate snow for the last few hrs in Eastbourne. Its topping up what we got overnight which was only a dusting really. Temp has not risen above -1.6 today.

Don't give up. I remember one time in Northampton when it was raining so heavily and the ground was soaked and then it suddenly turned to heavy snow and then started to settle in no time eventually having a snow covering of a few inches. Just because the ground is initially wet does in no way mean heavy snow won't settle. As long as the dewpoint goes below freezing.
It's starting to settle more on the grass now. How are you guys doing up there?

It has started to settle on the grass now a bit more. It's definitely trying. Just need it to carry on. Its been more snizzle for us for a while now but we had proper flakes earlier.

Hello mate. What a shame the ground has been so wet. I hope this dont turn out to be a waste of snow and it does settle somehow.

Ha! thats the best it got for us. Its almost passed us now. The last bit of hope for today is if it pivots like they say and comes back down, but i fear it maybe too far east of us and be fizzling away by then. Im just up the road from you in carew road, so a about 20m asl
Met office forecast dont look to good for later. Like you say fizzling out by then. Looked like just an area cloud. Maybe another system coming into cold air at the weekend but I dont think that's a good set up for us. Always seems to rain. Too close to the channel.

Good morning mate! I woke up early and was happy to see a decent frost but that really is a quick rise in temps. it seems to of stopped rising for the last 15 mins now though. All i can hope is it drops in any precipitation. Weve been unlucky down here on the coast the last few years again. Nowt!!
Morning. Same here. Got up to a frost -1 i think it was. Im gutted weve missed out again. I was reading yesterday about some signs of the beast but even the beast doesn't always deliver snow for Eastbourne of it comes off at all. Do you own a weather station or do you use the ones in Eastbourne?

Aww, the temp in Eastbourne has risen from -1 to 4 in an hour. boooo!
Yeah I was a bit surprised about that. No chance of snow for us.

I got up at 6:30 and it was just rain in Eastbourne. The rain band was well over us by then though so maybe there was a bit of snow earlier on.

Same as here. right on the back edge now though. I think i may be calling it a night and heading for bed, i dont think we will be getting anything more and the misses is tired! Be more than happy to find out i was wrong in the morning but i really think the system has weakened a lot more than it was forecast. Good to meet you anyway buddy. maybe il catch you here the next time something exciting looks to come our way
I'm thinking the same. Way past my bedtime it is. Fingers crossed for the morning. Good to meet and chat to you too. Yes. Defo catch up soon.

I'm in Eastbourne and it's painfully close but no cigar. I've got blue sky one side and a thunderstorm the other side.
