That squall line produced only breezy conditions and a good 10 min downpour here. It has now gone chilly, fairly calm and light rain falling afterwards. Nothing too exciting . 5mm of rain fell in 10 mins on the electronic rain gauge. Currently 9c.

Absolutely wild out there near Cowbridge and just lost power so will be off to sleep after filing the report. Stay safe all.

Gusts to 141 km/hr reported at Kinsale energy platform off the coast of Cork, this at around 50m above sea, 117 km/hr max gust so far at land stations of met.ie, 127 at an unofficial land station. Looks like core of strong winds heading for south Wales with peak likely around 0300-0500h. Would also expect sharp windspeed increases further north when trough passes and rapid pressure rises begin, lee wave formation possible in northeast England.
Its very stormy here already in South wales. Trees making loud roaring noise. Rain slamming into the windows. Gusting about 65mph already. I am expecting a noisy night especially as it peaks at around 3 to 4am here.

Well I must say that I am already missing the cold spell. It looks like some places will see flooding soon in my area. Not what we want to see. Today marks the anniversary of when Wales saw severe flooding along the River Taff in Pontypridd after Storm Dennis a year ago. I sincerely hope this weekends rain does not bring back these scenes.

Well I didn't expect this today after what yesterday's models were showing. Cover building fast.

Hey guys in the Scotland thread I thought that I would pop in to say hi and admire your snow or snaw photos . You wouldnt think it was winter down here in South Wales. Its like a spring day with dafs, crocus and snowdrops popping out with just a nip in the air and the odd passing flurry. I hope you enjoy your snow. Send some our way before winter is over

Check out the Scottish and North West thread there are a few unhappy folk in there this evening because of the bias and IMBYism yeah it's a joke Wales doesn't seem to exist in their eyes!
To them we in Wales don't exist as being in the country. I saw Jay's post earlier. If we post that snow will affect Wales they go crazy. Abit embarrassing really. How old are they. They need to go back to school or shall we post a big dummy in the mod thread when things go wrong. The mods would run a million miles.

I wouldn't worry about what happens in over 5 days away guys. So much is happening beforehand with snow events this weekend (battles between the warm and cold airmass). It will look different after they pass. So many fine lines drawn in at close range that will change the future modelling picture. In addition the ECM hasn't exactly been the best in forecasting in over 5 days recently. Constant chopping and changing like the rest of the models. Such a big difference tonight vs this morning. I would stick closer to the fax charts or to the nearer and now atm until volatility (fine balances between the warm/cold sector's) in the weather calms down. That boundary is constantly changing. Eventually one will be a clear winner. Theres no point in getting wound up over the weather. It will do what it pleases . Lets just enjoy the ride and watch it do its thing. There will always be winners and losers when it comes to cold and snow. And normally I am one of the losers as it doesn't often snow down in the south west. Most of you will get a better chance of seeing the white gold than me . Have a great night

Temp has dropped in the vale of Glamorgan from -0.7 to -1.2 again after a brief warm up from -3. This could be interesting. It is totally overcast now.

Front is showing signs of tilting.

I think it will be rain or sleet to avoid any disappointment lol. The amount of letdowns recently means I won't be excited until I see some white bits falling from the sky

It looks to be petering out guys. Hopefully the heavier stuff can keep its intensity. However I think it will decay :-/.

Took this video, there may be more videos if I can find my memory cards,. I think I recorded other clips on my phone,. and probably a good few photos too. (life wouldn't be complete without trying to make a snowman with the snow from your shoe)
Ah the beast from the east and storm Emma - 01/03/2018. That was the best snow storm I had seen in my 39 years here on earth which I will remember. I was too young to remember the great snow storm of 1981. It was similar apparently with drifts over the hedges like 2018 but more. It lasted alot longer too. My brother has photos of that great storm somewhere. In 2018 we had 58cms of level snow in the end and upto 2 metre drifts. Perhaps even higher in places near Cowbridge in the Vale. I even have a snap of the red weather warning that was issued by the met office . Looks great when you look back at it for snow fans. One day I hope to see this happen again but last longer rather than a thaw to follow a few hours or days later. Fingers crossed .

Amazing how quick that wind has come up. It was barely blowing and suddenly within 30 mins is severe gale. Very loud outside.
