Oh boy, are we having some...

Not snow, oh no, not a bit of it....

But Rain, Rain and more Rain... Started at first light and has gone from lightish Rain to sleety rain, to moderate rain, to heavy rain, and now, some 14 hours later, torrential rain, with hail, and sleet...

Sussex is swimming, we live half way up a hill and the back lawn is under an inch of water.

If this lot turns to snow over the Midlands tonight...

You're fooked....

Been raining all day in Milton Keynes, about 7:30 it started snowing and dropped an inch by 8:00ish and its still coming.... Was out in the CQ and the A5 was terrible.... but the CQ took it in its stride!

Expecting a lot of snow in this area tonight!

If you get the same that has passed over us turning to snow, by tomorrow, you'll be lucky to find the car... Seriously, we've had literally inches of rain here in the last 5 hours...

We've had all the rain earlier and lots of standing water now we are on the snow and its not looking good, I know in Corby the bus drivers were told today not to even bother coming in expected 6-12 inches of snow......
