Eek.
Parking tractor next to generator ready for power outage. Bound to happen, given our location.
Going to milk @ 5am.
Looking at our very own weather station Pwll Deri, does anyone know if that records wind speed?
Thinking of you Penfoel I'm sure this will be no worse than when Opelia blew in for us on the coast in 2017.

Plus 1 to that Sky full at 7am here on the coast there wasn't a breath of wind in my garden and I also saw the odd glimmer of blue sky. The local weather station (approx 2 miles from my house) recorded a min pressure of 969mb.... It's currently rising slowly as it's now 972.4mb.
I'm now uptown a slight breeze in the garden.

I never comment in this thread but thought you might like to know that the eye tracked right over us here in Pembroke on the coast. At 7am this morning in my garden there wasn't a breath of wind and the local weather station (approx 2 miles ) from my house recorded a min pressure of 969mb. It's currently reading 971.9mb

I can't see I'm on my iPhone
I know it well. We have a house in Fresh East
Apologies I'm on a laptop... Fresh East is just a 'good' walk from where I live... lol !
Already I'm feeling the effects of the occluded front bringing the system in... I've warmed up a 'tad. Temp is -0.5C and dew point is -1.3C

Where on the coast are you from?
The clue is under my name James, Pembroke, West Wales coast. Go the very end of the M4 and keep going until you get to the sea. I live on the edge of town and approx (as the crow flies) 3 miles from the coast x

It is important that people differentiate the met office forecast from that of the BBC. As you know the BBC no longer use Met office data so that's why there is disparity between the two
I know they use 2 different systems, Met office has 'flip flopped' me all day at every update between hail, snow and rain. Tonight I've ended up with rain. Hence the 'zipped' mouth until I see the model runs for the morning. The other day I was hopeful of a flake or two of snow as the rain predicted was due to last well into the afternoon and 12 lunchtime was the clincher for me on the coast as that was when the upper atmospherics would be conducive to me getting a chance at some 'possible' snow.
As it was that weather system zipped through us much faster than forecast and was sunny by lunchtime just as the temps would have been more favourable.
We have cloud due through the night which will raise the temp to approx 4C and I might just end up with no snow but at the moment even on the coast we have a temp of -1.1C and a dew point of - 2.09C
The upper atmosphere is cold even for us, for a change and I'm just hoping it stays cold enough for a days snow...

Has anyone else seen 'derektheweather' tweet not long ago, it seems even us coastal dwellers can now have some hope
It seems Met office have me down for heavy rain tomorrow afternoon and BBC weather have me down for heavy snow in Pembroke
I'll have to wait until morning to see if Met Office upgrade me or not

Derek's starting to get concerned about Thursdays snow.
https://mobile.twitter.com/DerekTheWeather/status/1090000273844645888
I think it's impossible to call from Derek's point of view... From what I've read I think only the best possible models from the UkMet can only foresee the cloud and rain cover 6hrs plus in advance ....
He's damned if he doesn't and damned if he does... I'd hate to be weather forecaster in the UK at the moment..

Evening all from a remarkably bright sunny Pembroke today!
I'm not discounting snow for us on the coast just yet, for one thing the 850hpa has us in the -5C, and as of noon tomorrow we have the 500hpa showing us in the -10C plus. The UkMet pressure charts also show us going into the 528dam sector which is conducive for snow.
I'm waiting to see how the rain progresses over us. If the rain is gone by approx 1-2pm like some weather charts show then I expect us just to have hail or sleet and freezing temps. If the rains lasts longer after 12 lunchtime then I expect us to slowly go from hail, sleet to big fluffy snowflakes and if the dew point drops low enough during this time then it will start to stick!
Ever hopeful from the coast, good luck all.

I thought it was just a 'tunnel cloud' I spotted in the garden this afternoon but apparently it touched down!

Guess not a gardening day today then?
We gardened yesterday snefug as it was dry and dug over the beds ready for veg, yesterday they were standing 2" proud of the path, this morning they are the same level as the path !
I also emptied a large 2" deep plant watering tray just to see how much it rained last night, this morning it is full to overflowing !
However, here on the coast the rain has now stopped
