Brief blizzard a sign of things to come?

A sudden blizzard descended on Bexhill this morning, less than 24 hours before weather reports predict severe snowfalls in our area.

The brief flurry began around 9.10am, and sputtered through till around 9.45am before the sun broke through.

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings, and predicts heavy snow between 6am-9am on Thursday morning.
