snowflakes here now
-
-5C here when I checked at 0630 hrs. Snow packed ice paths and side roads everywhere. Rain on top of this lot will be treacherous for road users. I've seen a lot of the valleys over the past few days and have been wondering the same thing about the Met Office temps and the actual temps around snow covered South Wales.
I always thought warm air goes up over cold air and rain that falls through cold enough air, turns to snow. Are we actually going to return to mild weather so quick that it just rains?

7 inches of snow depth here in Cwmbran.
Not sure I'll be able to get the car out of my street tomorrow.
Crazy weather for early December.
Nice though.

3.1C here in Upper Cwmbran and still dry. It's knife edge whether we get rain or snow here. Nowcasting

Snowing in West Pontnewydd..... and turning the rain to slush....a good sign that it may just stick very soon if it carries on as heavy as it is now....
-
Snowing heavy again in Cwmbran.....

BBC Forecast just said this weather is going to have a 'sting in its tail' on Friday when some milder weather moves in from the Atlantic bringing 'potentially' very disruptive snow before it 'the big thaw' starts.
I love the snow but I can't wait to see the back of it to be honest.....I'm getting fed up with digging out pathways and cars. Backbreaking work.....
Bring on the big MELT asap

I think the BBC downplayed the snow for Wales last night using the word showers and only mentioned 'something a little more significant' moving in later on in the afternoon.
Well, I'm in Cwmbran and we've already had over an inch of snow AGAIN and it's going to be treacherous driving today. Snow on top of packed ice isn't a good mix.
I won't be sending my kids to school today looking at the radar and I doubt they'll be going in tomorrow now looking at what's approaching the South coast for later....
I love the BBC but they got it wrong....

Cwmbran at 14:14hrs ;
Currently 2.7C : Dewpoint -2.1C : 969.8mb : Humidity 70%
Possibility of further and maybe significant snow to develop across South and South east Wales in the early hours of Tuesday, giving accumulations of anything between 2cm to 10 cm's, dependant on your location and altitude.
Also early signs of a warm up / thaw setting in over the coming weekend
-
There's about 3 inches of lying snow here in Upper Cwmbran.
-
This is only the start of it! Will get heavier from now on!!! Not enough to stop me from going to work at the moment though, see what its like in two hours.
Don't do it....go to work in the snow....'madness' you'll only be sent home or worry all day if you'll get home...
Have a 'safe' day whatever you do
-
It's official - there's an inch of snow already settled here in Upper Cwmbran. I knew I should have parked my car on the main road last night. It won't get anywhere in that depth....where's the 4x4 when you need one ?
-
cant belive how much snow is comeing down in cwmbran allready a few cms
If the forecast comes to fruition, then you could be looking at 20 - 30 cm's of snow by the end of today...that's nearly a FOOT !
Might bump into you later...sledging...
-
Don't forget to take plenty of 'wintry' photos and send them to wales.today@bbc.co.uk or post them on twitter @bbcwales or @bbcwalestoday and @derektheweather
You never know what they might show on the 6 O'clock welsh news
-
Don't forget that even though it looks like the front will soon clear, it will get picked up the southeast flow which is the direction it will start to orientate from so there's plenty yet to come. As it stands, the snow is expected to continue across much of Wales until at least Saturday morning, still over 24 hours away.
Now that's the sort of intelligent post I like to read.....lol....especially the last sentence....bring it on

Well, I got up at 0230hrs and had a look out of the window and there was nothing so went back to bed...in a 'snowless huff'.
Something made me at stir at 0430 (probably the inner excitement in me waiting to throw itself out and start making snow angels)
I looked out the window and it's now blanketed us here in West Pontnewydd.
It's blowing, it's snowing...and it aint going.....
Current temps 0.2C
Dew Point now -2.2C
Pressure 999.9
Humidity 83%
I'm expecting minimum 20 cm's of snow to fall here in Cwmbran today. I want 30 cm's but that's just being plain 'ole greedy....ah what the heck...now I want 40cm's of deep snow....
I promised my youngest daughter I would take her and the dogs out this morning for a run around....looking at the way it is now, I've had second thoughts. I think I might just cook us a nice greasy fry up and sit gazing out into the garden all day and twitching the curtains.
It's going to be one of those days when every weather forecast on BBC News 24 gets watched and I go 'shhhh' to anyone who dares speak when it's on.
This is the first time I've posted on here for a long long time and if you wonder why it's because I've been keeping a low profile. Take a look here http://www.hackergate.co.uk and you'll know why I've not wanted to attract any attention.
Anyway, it's nice to be back. Great to see Andy Music's excitement 'flourishing' around the regional threads ...... anyone know if Cwmbran Eira and Jay from Cardiff still about ?
Have a great day everyone and taker my advice, don't start snowball fights, they will always end up in tears....and bloodshot eyes.

Still -1C here in Cwmbran, had a light 30 minute shower earlier. Everything is white.

Did I hear someone talking about cold northerly plunges and snow ? My 'cold weather' radar playing havoc with my eating habits. Happened last year in October too. My body seems to be fattening up for a lengthy cold spell.
-
We've had lying snow since 30thNovember and it's just about keeping itself together here. Still showing ion the lawn and the mountains behind even though theyre not visible because of this pea soup
