A WEATHER warning for snow and rain has been issued across parts of Sussex this morning.
The Met Office alert covers areas in the far east of the county near Robertsbridge and Crowborough, with Battle residents waking up to an unexpected dusting of the white stuff.
The warning also extends north over areas of Kent and east London.
It was put in place at 4.51am today, and will remain until 10am.
The Met Office forecast predicted "heavy rain and snow leading to tricky travel due to surface water and possible slushy accumulations" in these areas.
A spokesman for the weather service warned: "Spray and surface water on roads may make journey times longer.

"Bus and train services may be affected with journey times taking longer.
"Snow may be briefly heavy in places, reducing visibility and leading to slippery surfaces."
Update:
At about 9am, the snow and rain warning was moved by the Met Office to cover and area further north, over Cambridge and Peterborough.
This warning is to remain in place until at least 11am.
If you live in East Sussex and have experienced snow overnight, we would love to hear from you!
