Snow in Bognor Regis

Watch out in Bognor as heavy snow is forecast right through until 12pm tonight followed by light snow showers into the late morning.  Sussex has been ear-marked for the deepest and heaviest snow this evening by forecasters.  

 Maximum day and night temperatures are -2 to -3 degrees cent. meaning you're going to be faced with freezing cars and iced up windscreens on Thursday morning and no doubt large traffic tale-backs into and out of Bognor due to slow moving traffic.

So the message this afternoon is to stock up on de-icer and scrapers while you can.  Halfords have a large range of options available.  Click here for a page of products that will get you started in the morning from as little as 0.99p.  

 You might find as I did in January's blizzard that your car gets snowed into your driveway in which case a good quality shovel is a must.  Try Robert Dyas or other hardware retailers such as B and Q who should be able to help. 

  If you're driving long distances in this weather always make sure your fully equipped with enough petrol, a fully charged mobile phone and plenty of oil and water in your engine.  A decent blanket, just in case and some food and drink provisions can also be a wise move.

 So have fun in the snow and stay safe, and if you have any news that can help our locals don't forget to post pictures and updates.
