AFTER a flurry of false alarms, snow finally fell in Brighton and Hove over the weekend.
And, this morning, several areas in the city have woken up to a dusting of the white stuff which has settled over pavements, in parks and on cars.
But, will the snow continue to fall?
Sussex is in the midst of a 72-hour yellow weather warning for snow issued by the Met Office.
The alert began at midnight and is set to remain in place until midnight on Wednesday. It covers the whole county.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Frequent snow showers may lead to travel disruption in places.
"Some places are likely to miss the showers altogether."
In Brighton, "light snow" is expected until noon, when it will be replaced by "heavy snow" for an hour. Then from 1pm to 6pm there will be further "light snow".
However, as of 8.30am today, the Met Office had not forecast any snow to fall in the city tomorrow or on Wednesday. Instead, Brighton will be covered by a blanket of cloud.
Snow in Brighton this morning
Temperatures are set to remain below freezing until Wednesday afternoon, reaching a low of -3C between 11pm tonight and 9am tomorrow, as well as between 11pm on Tuesday and 3pm on Wednesday.
The chilly conditions come as a result of cold air emanating from Russia and Eastern Europe moving across the UK, "bringing the risk of significant snow accumulations to parts of Eastern England and Scotland".
This low-pressure system has been named Storm Darcy by the Dutch weather service.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said: “The UK is in for a notably cold and snowy period over the next week, with very cold air in place over the whole of the UK.
Snow in Brighton this morning
"Showers will see snow accumulating across eastern areas on Sunday.
"Within the amber warning area (which covers areas of Kent, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk) more widespread snow is expected and we could see 5-10cm of snow quite widely, with a chance that a few places could see 20cm or more.
"With such severe weather around it’s important to keep up to date with the latest forecast."
