    Welsh Cold Spell Discussion

    Yet I have SKY News weather on and that is showing Wales completely clear over the next few days too! Ggggrrrr I wish I knew what it is going to do - meant to be going out Saturday night - don't want to find that Sunday morning the children are stranded in their Grandparents house at the top of Baglan mountain!!

    So why all weather channels saying no snow?

    So whats happening?:S

    Is there going to be snow in the Cardiff and South Wales area during the weekend or not? And when would it likely to be?

    I know next week looks interesting with a battle ground scenario. Its currently -2.9c here in the North Of Cardiff very cold indeed with a dusting of snow on all surfaces from earlier as if the case with alot of Rhondda Cynon Taff, Northern Cardiff and Caerphilly.

    If I was honest the details will never be sorted out until we are +72hrs away. However I will repeat what I said earlier about potential blizzards in the SW/Wales. If we do see a Greenland block with LP systems tracking to the S then locations such as SW/Wales could be at risk. Many people think that the SW England escapes cold, snow which at times is true. However some of the most famous blizzards to hit the UK have actually occured in SW England/S Wales.

    Before anyone accuses me of ramping this scenario has been shown on the GEFS ensembles which isn't surprising considering the overall synoptics.

    Under the Feb 09 set up, here in the hills of northern Cardiff we had 12inches of snow and in places 2ft drifts. The SW/s.wales got the heaviest snow fall amounts in the U.K. So totaly agree, you only want a rain band pushing up from the Atlantic meeting the cold east winds and bang, snow storm, i can remember feb 2009 well, im 15 and ive never seen anything like it, it was comeing down thicker than id seen it come down in New England, USA.

    Just to say just because its an easterly doesnt mean the east will get the most snow. Correct me if im wrong but back in the Feb Snow storms, S.Wales and the West Country got the most amount of snow there was 22inches in parts of the South West of the U.K., Im looking forward to this cold, looks very interesting indeed.

    Tom, the trend of forecasts for late December and January is for below normal temps in the northeast US. If that verifies, you could expect to see snow on the ground in southern VT almost for sure and possibly in NYC. Normals in early January would range from about 4 C in NYC (daytime) to 0 C in southern VT, to -3 C on higher slopes there.

    I would say expect it to be colder than this and possibly very cold, like -8 C to -15 C at times during your visit. However, keep in the back of your mind that if it turns out milder than average, it can be as mild as 10-15 C in these regions.

    I go to these parts every year, Im off to NY 10 weeks today, NYC is cold but when you go to Vermont be preperd to be shocked, the coldest its been there when I been there is -31c and the windchills you dont want to know! Theres always around 1-2ft of snow on the ground most places in Vermont during Jan and Feb. Your not guaranteed snow in NYC though.

    At the moment, the snow is not very good and all the ski resorts are opening tommorow in the NE, so as you can see by this cam they are making snow. However Wunderground got 100% chance of snow today and tonight for Killington. http://www.killington.com/winter/multimedia/webcam/index.html

    My friends I met in Stowe, VT last year from Texas have snow in southern Texas yesterday and they very rarely have snow.

    Snow can be seen on mountains in distance towards Merthyr and the Brecon Beacons.

    Temperture is plummiting in South Wales.

    Here at 190meter ASL.

    temperture = -1.7c

    windchill = -3c

    conditions = clear sky, air frost, colder night than what was forecasted.

    Cardiff-Wales Airport reporting tempertures of 34f/1c, Im about 17miles from there.

    Update = Cardiff-Wales airport temperture now 37f/3c but temperture is still droping on my weather station but slowing.

    Hi Mullender. No I mean the first night with the mercury dropping below 0C

    Just to add I wonder when the first single figures night will arrive? None yet here anyway according to my weather station. Anyone recorded signle figures overnight recently?

    We have down here in Cardiff in all 3 months of the summer

    6c in June, 8c in July and 9c in August, thats offical weather station.

    Where i live if you know Cardiff at all there is a hilly area in the North border of the county where land rises to 1007ft, the temperture here reached 7.1c the other night, constantly getting below 10c on clear night i do live in on a steep valley though which doesnt get much sun and it gets very cold here in winter and snow sticks around for days nd days. For me first ground frost around 28th september here i would say and below freezing 15th October, first snow end of november.

    Hi Wales.

    Are you talking about the 850hpa? 2m temps wouldnt give a ground frost (At least, I wouldnt have thought so).

    But, would agree with the sentiments. An early ground frost is always a spectacular sight (especially followed by a glorious day).

    Oh, I knew that but its good to see the first 0 on the 850hpa over* Southern Britain it means were getting closer to a ground frost. I ve seen tempertures here drop down to just under 5c here already this month under clear skies, I usualy get a ground frost in september due to my alltuide and a few snow showers later october:)

    I think records should be kept for the North and West like Ireland, Wales and Scotland where land and climate is cooler than that of the SE. I has 5 snow storms this year all in the 2 weeks of 1st feb to 14th feb where 40oed inches fell collectively, imbetween the snowstorms alot melted then it built it self up again the average snow fall i toke was around 12inches but i had drifts of nearly 25inches as shown in my sig. Which was the highest amount of snowfall in my lifetime anyway but im only 15 lol but my dad whos 50 hadnt seen snow in the UK like it since the 1980s.
