Snow falls in West Sussex following warning from Met Office

Earlier in the week, the Met Office had said a weather system ‘may push snow into some southern counties’ of England – including Sussex and Surrey – on Wednesday (January 8), which ‘could then prove disruptive’.

This came after an amber cold health alert was extended for the South East.

The yellow warning read: “Whilst not all areas may be affected, outbreaks of snow may push in from the southwest during Wednesday, potentially giving some significant accumulations in places.

"Two to five centimetres of snow could accumulate fairly widely, and as much as 10 cm over higher ground, especially over east or northeast-facing slopes. Rain or sleet is more likely near coasts. Note that there is still a possibility that the weather system, and associated rain or snow, may remain further south across the English Channel.

In Wick, West Sussex a reader has sent in videos of the snow falling. If you’ve got any videos of the snow falling in your area, make sure to send them to us on Facebook, with a message with your name and where abouts the snow was seen.
