I remember that well. February 4th 2012. Started off as snow in -1ºC and then turned to rain, while most of England had a fantastic snow event.
That's the one! Used to work night shifts and spent all day sat there praying it would get me the night off

Well…. After 20 hours of snowfall…umm….I have hardly any snow
.
i know I’ll wind a few up but….COME ON!!!! That is a shocker
.
I’ll be dreaming of sun, warm breeze and long evenings tonight.
I know you somehow missed quite a bit your way. Most frustrating one I remember for that was February (?) 2012 I think...a Saturday. Snowed pretty heavily from early hours through to late at night, and after an initial dusting, just nothing. Meanwhile just over the bridge in England all the way down to London, they were buried. That was a kicker for me...
Quite happy with what we got - but obviously doesn't quite make up for particularly for two winters on the spin without anything significant. Roll on the next chance.

Enjoying it while it lasts. Pretty big thaw with me that I can't imagine it'll do much to cover. So nice to see some falling snow throughout the day though, and a nice surprise I guess!

Im working in Rhoose and roads are all clear, just a mix of icy rain and sleet in heavier bursts so likely similar in Barry atm
Thanks

Heavy snizzle in the Port
-
Anyone down Barry way confirm what it's like atm?
-
Radar definitely lighting up. Hopefully the increased ppn rates turn it and keep it snow shaped for us near sea level

Coming down heavy again! Hopefully most of us in the south can squeeze a few more hours of snow out before the rest of wales get their dumping
Raining down here now. Would happily see nothing until any heavier stuff comes through, but still can't complain
-
Yep, thaw is setting in. Pretty much sleet here now. Still imagine the snow hanging around for the day though, so much better for many of us than what winter proper brought! Fingers crossed for more southerly corrections through today and tomorrow, but otherwise good luck to those up north!
-
Surely not too much to ask for all of that over Devon to just move in this direction is it?

You can see developing front off the coast of Cornwall that will slowly push north.Heavy pp but warm air behind it ,so high risk high reward.
Cant be too greedy I guess
but at least go out with a bang!

Can't wait for second batch of Snow to arrive around 12 heavier pp ,let hope mild air stays to the south
Where are looking to on the radar for that to come from Keith?
-
Couple of inches here, but pavements and roads are pretty clear - so not quite as good as January 2021. But great to see areas further west got their fill for once!

Looking at the forecast we should have snow all day and into tonight.
Yep! Met Office forecast gets better by the hour, so here's to hoping
Gonna get a few hours sleep as I'm sure checking on it stops it accumulating, ahaha

When did the snow start? I fell asleep for a few hours.
Literally only in the last hour here tbf mate! Rained to begin with so it's got a lot of work to do to cover up the puddles, but looks like we're in for a good few hours of this

Should be turning to
soon .temperature is dropping and pushing east so game on .
Yeah, I think as the heavier stuff keeps moving in it should all be good. Really hate the lower ground down here though sometimes. Crazy how different some of the higher up places in Newport can be - Bettws, Malpas, Christchurch etc.

Malpas mate .only light but nice to see it falling .
Wicked! Hopefully just the start! We've just had some rain
