The core is rotating but the low isnt. The blob over france is stuck to the core. A sort of wrap around front. It will pull off towards atlantic overnight and be replaced with the low below ireland. This low is circulating as seen from sat. Not sure if that blob will migraemte north but might expand.
So are you saying the precipitation in the English Channel will not move over our area as currently modeled by Arpege ?
-
Arpege has the system in the channel covering all of South Wales between 3 and 7 in the morning, lets just hope its still cold enough to fall as snow, even Swansea gets in on the action
-
They were talking about this on the radio as the air warms a little the showers pep up
-
Amazing really because Cardiff around 15 miles away and knee deep but cant begrudge because normally we would do better here via a westerly slider

Bridgend unfortunately with a similar drug problem a shot amount of snow, although to be fair we do have some impressive drifts

Andy you have always been a banker to reply so much appreciated. Do you think the met O may have underplayed the possibility of cold hanging on into mid week, I am probably a lot older than most posters at 52 but I remember from 70s and 80s this dense cold air being harder to shift than anticipated and hanging around a lot longer

Milder uppers? :-(
1 minute ago, blackrose73 said:That is certainly part of it, you're right. I'm admin of several large facebook groups so I'm no shrinking violet, but I always feel apprehensive about posting in here. Like you, I have been ignored, even after repeating the same question several times.
These kind of places should be welcoming otherwise it will always be the same posters. Hows that vino going down? so happy with the snow and to have work off tomorrow, other half not so happy as she has to go in even though I told her it wont happen.

I think the issue is, I (you and blackrose may be the same or not) only really post when there is snow which is so rare for us out west, I recon a lot of these guys are regular posters, I have posted a few times today and totally been ignored. To be fair the Andy guy is pretty cool and I have had a few chats when the snow events occur but lets be fair how often is that. Im not too interested and thunder and heatwaves and all that but snow and I will be up all night. I think you are up by Newcastle Emlyn hows it up there?

It's been a good event here, drifts of about a foot. Is it better than 2010? No. I was living in Thornhill in Cardiff then and the level snow was over a foot deep. Cardiff has done really well out of this and I'm glad tbh. I was down in Cardiff at 9am this morning and it was pretty bad then. I'm on jury service at the moment and all Cardiff Crown Court trials have been cancelled until Monday. I don#t think there's much danger of the courts resuming in the morning. I'm sorry that the whole of Wales has not been able to report the same amount of snow. However, at the time of writing it is 1:46am and there is more to come yet. There is a huge amount of precipitation moving up from France, but it's questionable if it will get here. I used to post in here years ago but not done so much for a while. I'll tell you the reason, and I'm not directing this at anyone personally, but it is very cliquey in here. There are a group of you that know each other well in here and to be honest it almost feels like I'm intruding on your space. I would like to post more but I do feel a bit excluded. As for the model thread, forget it! There is absolutely no point. Anyway, I hope most of us are enjoying the snow. This is a rare event in the UK when the daytime max does not exceed -4ºC. Personally, I'm snowed in up in Ogmore Vale so I'm on the wine!
Same here, work cancelled tomorrow, once in 20-30 year event (specially from an easterly) why not neck a bottle of wine and enjoy. Surprised Andy isn't around as I know is has been an all nighter for the big events. In Bridgend bet it is much better up where you are!

Worst snow ever in NW Wales. There's been yellow and green on the radar but hardly anything falling. Bonkers. Anyone know why ??
The radar has been weird today, I am in Bridgend and we have been showing up as very little snow all day on the radar and I have just got back from walking the dog (stopped here) and there is a good 3-4 inches of snow. I wonder if the radar perceives the powder snow different to the traditional Brit wet sticky snow?
-
Andy, do you know why (in simple terms) has there been a lower amount of snow falling between Bridgend and Swansea?
-
It just seems wrong that it hasn't settled on car and house roofs, Obviously happy to have seen so much snow today but have to admit I prefer the fluffy sticky kind rather than the powder we have today, surely the more of this that moves up from France the more warm air and greater the risk of transitioning to sleet and rain?
-
Bridgend looks like its petered out for the night (we are in the gap)
-
OK competition where will the centre of the massive red blob currently over Glastonbury track, my money is just to east of Cardiff
-
Are these really heavy fronts starting to pivot> now or am I just fooling myself, visiting friends in Bridgend and it has not been too heavy so far but those fronts look like they are pivoting towards mid glam now
-
Interesting to see that another Blizzard forecast for next week
Grebes are facing east too

I live in Brackla, Bridgend and have a dewpoint of -1C and a temperatuer of 0.7C with the moderate-heavy snow!
Cheers This recording station must be lower down then, according to google earth Brackla is around 60 metres above sea level so that may make a difference, wonder whats coming down in Porthcawl??
-
Dew points of 0C or above = no snow
Thanks for that I thought that was the case, Yet Bridgend recording dewpoints above 0 and yet still heavy snow, How can that be??

Asked earlier but eveyone having too much fun with their snow
Can it still snow with a dewpoint above O C??
cheers
-
Anyone know if it is possible to still get snow with a dewpoint above 0 C?
-
The movement of the front is slowing, you can see for yourselves by running the animated loop on the radar. Only problem is the dew points seem to be fast aproaching the critical 0 C
-
Visiting family in bridgend this weekend and surprised to see heavy snow here now, front looks to be slowing a liitle too
-
Dont be surprised if the front grinds to a halt a lot further west than is being predicted, these situations are extremly dificult to get right
