Sussex is bracing itself for arctic conditions this weekend with forecasters predicting up to 10cm of snow in some areas in the early hours of Sunday.
The latest forecast warns that East Sussex will be hardest hit with Eastbourne, Uckfield and Hastings expected to bear the brunt.
Sussex Police are warning drivers to be prepared to cope with potentially treacherous roads and train, bus and airport services could be affected.

I will believe the snow in Seaford when I actually see it but as the temperature is rising quite quickly I doubt we will have any which will be a great shame.

But we don't always have snow, and we're also ill-equipped to deal with it as a country if it does happen.
So people need to know about it. Hope that helps.

I assume we have tosend our pics in as the argus appears to be located in Southampton, how much is left in Brighton?

Good it's snowing. I wish you would put some pictures showing the snow and the Arctic conditions then maybe I can swap you some of mine. We had the d..n stuff for 72 hours non stop. If anyone wants some snow grips for their boots then Canadian Tire over here have them on special offer. Please get rid of the white stuff for April when I return to the UK otherwise I'll have to bring my shovel.

Ray Mears would advise deflating the 2 drive axis tyres, to give better grip driving over Hove Tundra.

Yes folks the snow is on its way. East Sussex to get the most. West Sussex readers and maybe Brighton readers will be on there accusing the argus of getting it wrong because they only have an inch while East Sussex readers will be snowed up conmpletely. My advice is stay in unless you really have to go out. Heard my local supermarket has already sold out of bread and milk!!! Panic buying is in full swing.And they say people haven't got any money.
But Argus, seriously? Arctic conditions??? Get a grip.

While I disagree that the remake was pi$$-poor (that would be impossible since Helen Mirren and Andrea Riseborough are in it) I agree that the original is far superior. Hadn't realised that Richard Attenborough could be so creepy, or that Doctors Who and Watson were in it. Still superb if it has reached pensionable age
