No melting snow here in Blaenavon!
A good 15 to 20cm lying snow. And it's starting to fall heavily again.

We haven't done well on the snow front but this is still a pretty rare set up. I'm loving walking on frozen ground rather than mud and at least seeing a bit of snow falling and a light dusting. Some pretty impressive icicles about as well. Not seen them for a while. You never know maybe we'll get lucky at the weekend and see some proper snow.
And no doubt some nice views of the Sugarloaf and Blorenge from you location. Both of which have a dusting of snow. The view coming over the Blorege today was fantastic.

according to metoffice torfaen is not in the warnng area but if you go on the bbc website they have the metoffice warning which say torfaen is included but the bbc are showing nothing but rain makes you laugh really how can they show rain and a warning for snow at the same time lol.Hopefully it will correct further south
But if you go further north Blaenavon at over 350M would be snow. So I'm guessing the MO are edging their bets

Is that Wednesday in 10 days time? Everything is in 10 days time. Never materialises though.
No that's Wednesday 13th January.... the date is on the chart.
Very unlikely to happen even so.
Looks wet and a slight warm up for mid week. With cold air close by to our north east.

We've had a few really heavy showers in Blaenavon today.
The Blorenge mountain has a nice covering from earlier in week. Unfortunately its a magnet to visitors from all over, which isn't permitted during our current restrictions.

That's not a mountain..... Blaenavon is one of Wales' s highest town's at 350 to 420M . .. The mountains that surround it.... the Blorenge and Coity are +550M
Tomorrow's weather should be interesting BBC are saying rain while MET going for sleet for my area.

How heavy is the snow showing on the radar? Will it reach the eastern valley?

Cardiff 365 days a year. ?
Blaenavon and Brynmawr are the 2 highest town's in Wales and we have had about 8 days of lying snow. No doubt there are a few villages higher but I wouldn't think there is a lot of days of lying snow in Wales

It's crazy in there ?! Can't make head of tail between all their opinions on what's happening , could be another 2013 then ?
What happened in 2013?

But from what I can work out amongst the chaos in that forum thread is that there's still not cross model agreement.... its gonna be cold from Saturday through til Tuesday after that its anyones guess.
-
What thread you reading? It's all positive towards a cold spell from this weekend. Still waiting for all 3 models to give the same output but 2 out of3 are..... and GFS is moving the same way slowly

A good 3 to 4 inches here in Blaenavon. Elevation being a big factor. Cold morning too now

tomorrow's/Tuesday's Brecon beacons meto forecast
Clear spells and scattered wintry showers are forecast in the early hours with a widespread frost, and showers during morning with bright spells in valleys and patchy low cloud covering hills. Cloud will increase around midday with heavy rain at low levels, and sleet and snow above 300 metres, then snow at all levels later. Widespread fog will form on hills at all levels.
Should be interesting for us at the top of eastern valley in Blaenavon then. 350M plus ASL bits of snow in the air this morning at 3C

I'm nearly double your elevation here in Blaenavon. We always do well on these set ups!
