JESUS, this shower is pretty heavy. A lot of thawing earlier left paths and roads CLEAR. Now it's a whiteout with huge flakes.
-
Was just about to ask if you were lurking, this is taking ages to creep into wales but its coming in! Light snow grains here
Where are you? Radar shows some yellow 2-4mm city centre sort of.
-
Is that ppn actually going to start moving east, or is it going to plow on into wales
and miss most of the south completely?Hopefully plow on into Wales
That would be my dream. -
Is it me, or does that precipitation coming out of Brittany look a long way west? Is it this that's supposed to give tonight's snow to central southern England? If I didn't know better, I'd say that was going to affect areas further west than previously thought. Any thoughts?
I thought that. I hope it continues north before edging East so then there is chance of a dumping here
-
Pontyates, Carmathenshire taken about 20 mins ago. If this started to stick early I'd be a very very happy bunny.
I think it's going to stop soon.
-
Someone from Swansea confirm snow has stopped?
-
Coming down very heavy now, started to stick to the pavements finally. Very strange it hasn't stuck early since it's been snowing all day.
-
For my elevation and the amount of snow faliling and the temp this is really iritating. We have heavy snow. The snow on the fields is acumilating well but the roads and pavements nothing, It's getting annoying. Gone colder though so that's good and flakes bigger it accumilated earlier then thawd a little and now starting to accumilate again.
Same here as your aware, very frustrating.
-
Been snowing here since 8 this morning nothing stickin on roads or pavements but the fields etc are getting deeper the mountains above look really coated. Where has this come from?
Nice of you to join us Adam
Likewise here, not sticking to gritted roads and pavements. Sticking well to the frozen snow and slush and other paths and walls. Back roads around here up higher elevation have a good covering since they haven't been gritted.
-
Schools closing in Carmarthenshire. Snowing here since early this morning.
Locally worse, more accumulation on higher ground but generally sticking easily.
Just under -2 Deg C. Light snow / Graupel in lighter parts. Some more heavier bts heading up.
Are there showers developing over the sea to here?
-
I'm going to guess and say the leading front will start to head westwards towards Wales
-
What use are the 850hpa wind vectors in forecasting? Noticed them on the radar.
-
There is still a few flakes blowing about. I'm impressed but the development over sea before the showers hit Swansea area. This is a good thing, let's hope more development through the night. Would be great to see better showers reaching here from down south.
If the snow was heavy now it would easily stick, it started to stick in the moderate snow early.
Good night.
-
Jackone that main band over Southern England is going to have to swing round drastically to reach South Wales! I think it will continue to head straight North. Other bands of precip may get to Wales by morning though.
That's what he means.
-
Now the radar 'really' has gone all to cock. I'm sure it will be back soon?
EDIT:
Radar is back.

Os rydyn ni'n moyn bwrw eira yn y gorllewin heno, dwi'n gobeithio eich bod chi'n iawn! ;-)
I think nowcasting is definately the best solution, all sorts of problems with the radar, ppn showing when there is none, sleet where there is snow. Here in South Pembrokeshire we had a hefty snow shower at 7pm, and since then the temperature has dropped by about 3 degrees, so i'm fairly certain that any ppn that will fall overnight will be as snow, here's hoping that the low pressure spins some our way in the first place!
I hope we get a battering. But the precip type is very marginal. And for the non existent PPN, that's just weird because only the heavier parts actually give us ppn. So it's not all too cock, only the lighter echoes are not going to give anything.
-
Chance the red circle will go to South Wales? Somewhere else or fizzle out?
-
Pretty much tipping it down here moderate I would think. Windy as well, which adds to the 'cool' effect.
Shame it's only a shower and my location is going to miss out big time tonight. 3 days off is lazy enough, maybe god is getting me back!
-
I've noticed that all the precip that's come over me has only EXISTED if it's more intense. Only the maybe green and yellow bits on the NW Traditional radar are actually REAL. Why is this?
-
I take that back, now it's snowing, but I still don't know what the hell is wrong with the radar.
Does anyone on here know Clive Worth? Type his name in to Google Search.
-
Still no snow here in Pontyates, I'm like a Duck without water here. I don't know what the HELL the problem is with the radar, and I love online.
-
Adam, a big downgrade with Beeb sorry. You might get something soon now.
-
The BBC National Weather not looking so good for Wales. 8-)
-
Just under 0 Deg C here in Pontyates, Carmarthenshire. Waiting for these showers to come, currently they're by Swansea.
and miss most of the south completely?
That would be my dream.

Pontyates, Carmarthenshire.
Gower & Swansea in for some moderate stuff now if this shower keeps it's intensity.
