Update from Mold, NE Wales, about 10 miles from Chester - been snowing since 9 o'clock, started to stick to wet surface at about 10.30/11. Now accumulated about an inch and building really fast. Very heavy snow still. I though this was going to be a slush-out but now it will defo be a shut school day tomorrow. I'd be surprised if I make it down the hill to Birkenhead for work but that depends what its doing there. I just (accidentaly) did a 270 spin on the main roundabout coming into Mold which was fun
-
Out of region I know, but sticking well in Mold, NE Wales now - very heavy and blowing. Anyone in Birkenhead? Wondering what it's doing around Bidston to assess my work chances tomorrow.
-
After failing to stick in Mold, it's now like someone threw a switch. Suddenly must have reached a saturation point and now building up steadily. Very heavy blowing snow - got to pick son up from work in 10 mins and it aint going to be an easy drive!!!
-
As an update from Mold, all snow now and blowing hard BUT the temps aren't low enough yet and its falling on a wet surface due to earlier sleet. Expecting to wake up to 2cm of slush at the moment.
-
Expecting Huge amounts of snow for Berwyns, Clwydians and Hiraethog
Someone needs to tell the weather that because its wet sleet here in Mold atm and were at 125m!!!
-
Just started here in Mold, NE Wales - a lot of rain in it at the moment and we're at 125m asl!
Im sure it will turn to snow completely but we might be too wet first!
-
Anyone got a link to the latest NAE for tomorrow?
Heavyish snow in Mold at the moment after a day of continuous light to moderate snow that seemed to recede as soon as it fell. This new burst has stuck - added about 3cm in the last hour or so now that the temps have dropped
-
Heavy snow in Mold for the last 2 hours nearly having been snowing at least lightly since 8 this morning. It's added another inch at least where its stuck to Fridays snow but its not quite cold enough to add to anywhere where the snow wasn't lying such as our path - melted instantly here and not been able to make its own layer.
-
Fairly heavy snow now in Mold, 120m asl. The radar seems to have us in a direct line from the south east and we could be in for a good top-up. I was mocking the bbc forecast last night with its thin finger of snow reaching up to the ne of Wales -didn't look very plausible but spot on again.
-
Still snowing in Mold. Snowed without stopping since 6.15 this morning. Still quite heavy now, having picked up again in the last half hour. 3 inches lying snow - better than I expected after yesterday's evenings doom and loom up in the north.
-
we have had light snow all day here. It is still coming down, tiny flakes. Radar not picking it up. There is about 3cm now
Not so much down the hill in Mold - hasn't really stuck so only 1cm. Waiting for the main event still.
-
Light snow all day here. Light dusting only as melting as fast as it settles...settling a bit more now as temp has fallen from ~3C to 1.5C. For some reason MO radar showing no precipitation in vicinity at present? Any chance NE Wales is gonna steal the heaviest falls from you Southerners tomorrow? í ½í¸
Same in Mold - nothing on radar but snowed lightly for 5 hours. Not complaining - just a thin layer atm though
Looking at the radar the heavier bursts currently further north than South Wales and more into Southern Ireland - am I missing something here or is the angle of attack taking a more northerly route? It looks like a narrower band initially and I have a funny feeling my curtains will be open to just an inch of snow and having to go to work in Cardiff all apologetic becasue they will blame me for the fact there is no snow.
JK
I think the precipitation over Ireland is heavier as it's over land - that's what it will look like when it's over you!!!
-
Been snowing in Glyn Ceiriog all day - ranging from small polystyrene balls to big wet flakes, and settling on untreated roads and fields, only about a couple of centimetres lying but have a small chopped forest by the wood burner, have made bread, risotto supper ready to go and last weeks borgen on the laptop with a glass of wine - will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Can I come round?
-
Lordy! - raintoday radar has Manc in a sandwich! West to East ppn - interesting convergence...
I was looking at that and wondering where the hell it would go when it met - will it go east or west or get squeezed up north?
-
Light snow in Mold here, NE Wales, 120m asl. Is there any chance of streamers setting up in Irish Sea before the main front arrives or is the wind already from the SE?
Oh - and why does the met office show the amber warning as red at the moment or has this already been discussed - only just got in?
-
Think you mean the January 2010 breakdown.
Me too - never seen snow pile up so quickly - that came to me in NE Wales about 3pm from the south
-
BBC online 5 day forecast for Cardiff has a heavy snow symbol for Friday and light snow symbol for Saturday, savour the moment!
If you click on the days though, it shows sleet on Friday as well, and rain on Saturday. Hope you get an upgrade!
-
Snowing now in Mold in the NE. 120m asl. Very light though. Should give a dusting.
-
Down to 73 users. We broke the internet!!!!
-
Woke up to a thin layer of snow - the ONLY snow this winter so far - less than a cm. Hey ho - roll on sping!
-
Snowing since about 8 o'clock in Mold, NE Wales. It has 'stuck 'in the slushy sense of the word. About 2-3cm of it but it's the sort that sort of melts as soon as you stand on it. Better than no snow but not the 'good' snow I was hoping for. The belt of precipitation streaming down the Irish sea looks like it's good for another hour or two of it.
-
It's a mountain range called the Urals!
Pretty sure the Urals are a good few hundred miles East of that snowline.
-
Just to chip in - we had fantastic snow in the Clwydians in Flintshire winter before last (1st week of Jan onwards). Masses of the stuff on a par with anywhere else at the time. We look down on the Cheshire Plain. If I remember, this pushed in largely from the South, but my brain may have been addled by excitement.
Just a lurker by the way, who loves the chit-chat (and rowing) that goes on between you more knowledgeable chaps. Looking forward to the next 5 months of it - 1st thread I look at every day. Thanks to all!!

The 528 metre line is generally regarded as the dividing line between snow and rain.
'Ere, I've just checked, I don't get the thickness levels or the 850 millibar temps on my local forecasts - Am I missing something here?
Thank you all. @ Mike, the dam and 850 temps are on the netweather snow forcast
.Best wishes to all,
