Default snow at Brighton

Situated 1 mile from the sea on south slope of the south downs 10m above sea level.
Looked for the promised sleet and thaw last night until 1 am. none came.
Woke up this morning to an additional 4cm of snow that has added to the unthawed snow from last snowfall, now totaling circa 10cm.
It is still snowing lightly at 10:30 am, the new snow is large dry flakes and powder, not at all sleetlike. The roads are once again snowed over and tricky to use.

The met office flash warning for today explicitly excludes Brighton & Hove from the 'be prepared' area, it is a nice green colour, even though all areas surrounding are orange.

Midnight approaching. Snow still 100% coverage at about 5cm depth on grass, unheated outbuilding roofs and uncleared pavements, most trees clear. Roads clear, perhaps due to salt (yes, B&H Council still gritting some minor roads). No new snow today since about 11am, no rain either, just greyness.
