Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Wetterfrosch]

That promises snow even down to my modest elevation and is actually reflected as temporary sleet in the MetO output for my location which happens seldom enough so there must be convincing reasons behind it. Yr Wyddfa was already covered this morning.

[andymusic]

we have sleet here now

snowing up in Tredegar

heads of the valleys getting a right pasting - weird no warnings from the met office - if it was London they'd be all over this but cause it's Wales - no problem lol

Rhymney

Tredegar getting worse

Dowlais

Interesting night of weather thats for sure, heavy rain across much of the south, temperatures cool enough for snow in places, and some thunderstorms thrown into the mix too, then strong winds later.

[andymusic]

I think the Brecon Beacons will be deep crisp and even by the morning with this front coming through

[andymusic]

Dowlais top getting a covering now

 

[Marcus_surfer]

We got sleet mixed in with a few flakes here, quite heavy, so i can see why its snowing in the valleys! Temp is dropping quickly now, from 7 earlier now down to 3C!

[andymusic]

Blizzard conditions in Tredegar and looks very white too

[Lisa34]

Snowing in Aberdare too Andy. Brrrrrrr

[Marcus_surfer]

Warning now out from the metoffice for snow

[andymusic]

 Marcus_surfer Bit late in the day but finally they put one up - however it's also snowing in the south west of England and they haven't put a warning out for that yet

Andy. I apologise for doubting you. There is settling snow outside. I haven’t heard a gritter yet, so the Mountain Road could be nasty in the morning. 

[andymusic]

 Crepuscular Ray no worries - a little bit last minute this time - but embeded cold temps in the low causing this one - a bit unusual because you normally expect "Spanish plumes" with thunderstorms to come up from France in this direction - so it's a bit of a weird set up!

[Pembroke Dangler]

Snowing heavily big 50p flakes here settling on cars and grass

[Marcus_surfer]

Snowing now, settled on all surfaces

[Wetterfrosch]

Not the first time during this season that the Met Office have been caught out by developments and had to rush to send out a warning as things are already happen. This one came as an update to another one that never arrived at least in my inbox. What's going on, snowflakes on the ether??

[andymusic]

highest point - heads of the valleys looks a little snowed in

A lot of the tv forecasters were making light of tonight's snow potential with the phrase - just a little "wet snow" on the hills - seems it's turned out a little more problematic than that

[Bartlett High]

Raining here 

[A Gower Guy]

very surprised by tonights snow, this morning wasn't expecting the rain to be this far west let alone it turn to snow.

[Daniel_c150311]

I see it’s snowing quite a lot towards Bridgend and further east, I’m only a few miles away (and higher up) it’s just sleet

[Marcus_surfer]

I'd say about 2 inches here

[Daniel_c150311]

 Marcus_surfer just wondering, what’s the temperature there if you know?

[Marcus_surfer]

 Dxnielwashere 1.3C

[Daniel_c150311]

Only just started to snow and is about to stop now within 2 mins.

[andy989]

Well i wasn’t expecting that
