im in neath at the moment and its snowing here now, wasnt expecting this even though its light, are we expecting some more light snow tonight and tommorow before the main event? surely its a good sign that its snowing in western wales now for this to be an all snow event for wales on friday, i hoping this is going to be epic and looking in the model thread theres more of the same to come. Iv always wanted to see a red warning of snow for wales maybe this is the winter we can witness this, theres hoping anyway.

Im in neath at the moment and i can confirm i saw a flash of lightning and thunder not long ago and hail. Hopeing this event comes off friday as well, nice to hear some have had some snow which wasnt forecast i believe

happy new year and all that to everyone been gutted with these phantom cold spells when they do a magical act to tease us all then dissapear, but just a hunch that this time its going to deliver snow for wales. Swansea beat chelsea 2:0 so its going to happen bring on the whitey goodness !!!

Yes i agree learning all the time thanks tony h for the reply, not much chance of snow then really, well its only the start of winter so bring on some whitey goodness by the truck load please snow gods.

Is this chance of snow tommorow our main chance in wales this week? Isnt there a more organised band of ppn progged for us thursday? Surely this would more likely be snow with the cold already in place. Hopefully someone can correct me. Looking good long term just eager for snow now its been too long lol.

Andy your posts never fail to make me happy. Been lurking on here seeing all the hype for this winter, and iv been dying to get excited and write similar posts to yours but you have summed it up for me. Even the experienced posters on here seem to be ramping this up so im confident we are being sent to the freezer just a matter of how cold and how much snow i think now!!

This weather does seem rather strange hopefully its a good sign. Thanks for explaining the pressures a bit earlier, will be investing in a book this year to help with some technical stuff. Was this low currently over us forecasted as everything seems to have not been forecasted lol, looks good on the radar.

i thought we didnt want a euro high for sustained cold, more like a scandi or greenland high?. Iam still learning so go easy on me lol.

That would be more than welcome bring it on! I am trying to learn to take everything with a pinch of salt as i seem to get dissapointed more often than not. Also i have seen how the mood can change overnight on here lol.

further enough away for you to have the snow and for us to have none. Nice to see that you have had some white stuff and i wish i was there, snow just always lifts my mood no matter what. Any chance of sharing some with us lol.

most likely rain seems to mild for any white stuff, i would like to be proved wrong though. Nice to see some lucky people across the border getting some snow. Im so jealous been lurking in their regional thread haha. Hopefully our time will come sooner rather than later.

just my wishful thinking then, seems so long since the last decent snowfall its causing snow me to have snow hallucinations.

Im sure i can see some wet flakes in the last few showers unless my eyes are playing tricks on me again like last winter haha. It does seem a lot colder this time around compared to last year, lets hope the cold keeps building and we can tap into it, also any mild spelss are short lived.

Dont know whether any one has mentioned this but i can see snow towards the beacons, is this a sign of things to come or false hope. Nice to see the first snow of the season from my front door nonetheless even if its not by me. Any updates with this low tommorow ?

Hey guys, first post this winter got to say been lurking early this year, i didnt think anything was forecast seems to have come out the blue. Is there really a chance of a few flakes? Im hoping for a good few dumps of the white stuff this year theres hoping anyway.

This thread should have been called this from the start, as winter never really started lol. Looking forward to spring like weather and some storms. Then monsoon season in the summer haha .

Thats the problem too much choice will have to just buy a few lol. Looking rather clear on the radar .

Thanks for that any others? Im looking at getting a few to have a collection, so i can contribute one day. Going to eventually get a weather station and a keep a winter diary .

I know its a bit off topic but wouldnt know where else to ask. Also i know us welshies are all friendly, can anyone recommend some books for learning about different weather features during the winter and thunderstorms etc. Reason being that i just want to improve my knowledge ready for next winter. Sorry this is completely random lol.

thanks for the link, think i understand going to try and google it to find a picture.

can someone explain what a trough is? Still trying to pick up some things been hearing that alot and wondering what it means.

Crossing my fingers then, i like that link about streamers and lake effect snow, i wish. Gota experience that one day very big snow totals from them!!.

Whats our chances then guys? im in desperate need of seeing some snow!! lol

midnight tonight? im getting confused as to what to expect from this. Im afraid that if i blink long enough il miss it and it will be spring lol.

i seen it, suppose hes right its the closest artic air has been to us all winter haha lol
