still snowing lightly here, about 12cm of fresh snow
-
bangor???
Always going to be marginal for Bangor in a setup like this due to proximity to the sea and low altitude. I suspect several miles inland along the A5 it will be snow. A freind who lives on high ground near Betws y Coed has a couple of cm's of snow.
Bangor could see more in the way of snow as the colder air digs in

will it reach North West Wales?
Where about are you?
Higher ground in Northwest Wales has been getting snow for most of the day.

snow has been heavy for past 45 minutes now. A fresh 4cm from today snow so far

Have had light snow, graupel and tiny ice pellets on and off all day here. Snow is now a bit heavier as the backedge of this front moves through. Hopefully see some heavier snow later. Another Ice day here, got to a max of -0.4C. Snow from before Christmas still hasn't gone and lots of ice around.

visibility dropped to 50m now, light wet snow still falling

Light snow here, very wet though. It turns to sleet at 250m ASL then rain at 150m ASL. There has been a partial thaw here today, biggest thaw since snow started on the 1st of Feb. Current temp is 0.4C

Very heavy snow here, has been on the heavy side for about 40 minutes. Snow is just getting deeper and deeper

Heavy snow showers on and off here. -3.6c

Happy days here in North Wales, we've had nearly 10 hours of light snow, absolutely no thaw!
Took a trek up to the hills around me, there were drifts of snow with depths of well around 4-5ft.
I will be going back up there tomorrow, I will take some photos
Hoping for a little from this front, doubt it will reach this far north however, good luck tonight people!
Yeah, We had another couple of cm's last night and started snowing again mid morning and is still going giving another couples of cm's. Very light now though. As you say there are some massive drifts around. What hills did you go up? I was up several of the Clwydians yesterday cutting fallen trees and branches.

Has been snowing again here for the last hour and a bit. Was heavy for a time but has eased off a bit now.
-
16cm of snow now, still coming down heavy

Anyone with a car want to go on a snow chase to somewhere locally hilly?
Not sure about Halkyn but can imagine its pretty bad over there. Roads are impassable here unless you have a 4x4 or tractor.
-
Moderate snow on and off all day. About 7cm lying snow with some impressive drifting. Snow has go heavier in last hour.

Had snow flurries all day yesterday that only collected against walls and so on. Had a bit overnight giving a covering of 5cms with drifts to 10cms. Reports of snow right down to sea level in North Wales.

Light snow flurries on and off all afternoon. Several days worth of frost and Snow from a few days ago still on all surfaces too. Temp hasn't risen above 0c for several days now.

Wet snow, hail and sleet all night here, a slushy covering on grass, roads and cars. Currently throwing it down with sleet. Temp 1C
-
Had some heavy snow showers throughout the afternoon. Last one is just clearing and was very heavy snow with potent 50mph gusts. Around 4cm lying on the grass now. Base of the snow does look a bit wet though, and it isn't as deep on the roads
-
1cm of lying snow here. Parents report a dusting down at 150m asl :lol:
-
Sleet on and off here this evening
-
Had moderate snow for a few hours this morning before it turned to sleet then rain, left a thin slushy covering about 0.5cm
-
Max snow depth was at 03:30 this morning - 9cm. Snow turned to sleet shortly after and turned to rain at 06:00, temperature currently 2C and a thaw is setting in. Everywhere is still white, but roads are becoming a slushy mess. Great start to winter!

Sorry report is late, only just found out about it.
FLINTSHIRE is experiencing the kind of freak weather seen only once in a lifetime, including a spectacular tornado.This photograph – taken by Leader photographer Rick Matthews from Hilbre Island – shows the tornado over the Mostyn/Ffynnongroyw area at noon yesterday (July
.At the same time people living in the area reported either extremely heavy rain or hail.
Met Office spokesman Sancha Lancaster says the phenomenon is described as a funnel cloud until it touches the ground, when it becomes a tornado and causes destruction.
Bagillt Community Council chairman Mike Reece reported a minute of heavy rain in the village at the time and Ffynnongroyw county councillor Dolly Banks said there was very heavy hail there and heard there was particularly torrential rain in Mostyn.
"It's very strange for July, and there's more to come," said Cllr Banks. "God knows where it's all coming from, it's beyond us."
Sancha Lancaster said the weather currently being experienced in Britain was a 'once in 80 year event'.
"For the size of the UK per square metre we have more tornados than the United States, but they're not as powerful," she said.
"In the last two weeks, with the very stormy weather, there have been 12 across the UK. Stormy weather conditions cause convective clouds which give rise to tornadoes."
She said the weather we are experiencing was a once in 80 years event.
"You can get very intense thunderstorms in the summer, usually caused by humidity and heat, but this time things are more unusually and probably something you only see every 80 years."

Temperature is down to -6.4C at the moment. Currently around 10 inches of snow which has frozen hard, its hard to tell as it drifted a lot. Max temperature yesterday was -2.1C. Going for a walk in the mountains soon where there is rumored to be 18 inches of snow above 500m
