They did show earlier light snow and said 1-2cm across Wales tomorrow, then ITV wales showed the snow and said 3-4cm tomorrow, all depends how quickly it fizzles out against the cold.
The icon still looks decent this morning.

Some very light snow here. BBC are avoiding showing tomorrow's weather forecast I wonder why.

Where do the BBC get their forecasts from? Utter rubbish.

is that stuff out in channel bit further north than predicted?
Looks it, seems to fizzle out though.

Surely it won't all die out.

Looks like the precipitation is heading towards us.

Where on earth did this come from? I don't normally take any notice of the BBC's automated forecasts, but I'm surprised.
Not sure where they're getting heavy snow from.

Imagine it gets through and snows lol, would be one of the biggest fails ever.

Well, not what I was hoping to wake up to with the models. No real sign of snow the next few days and the it becomes spring like next week. I will enjoy the warmer weather though!
Still a bit of snow being shown but not enough lol. Roll on warmer temperatures.

I think that's it for this cold spell, no snow event. Back to rain and mild from next week, hopefully get some warmer temperatures and sun soon.

Well what a crap cold spell this has been for the majority, not one snowfall. Roll on spring and mild temperatures.

Yep UKV Extended looking like this for Saturday, a bit better than the ECM! Not great for SW Wales though unfortunately
. .
Met Office will need to adjust their warning if that's what's expected. Half the time they don't make sense.

Yup. This from the higher res Arpege too keeps some good intensity in whatever we get. Tbh, even if we end up in Spring next week, 3 snow events in one winter puts this as a great one for me. Not a classic, but been a nice distraction!
Nice snowfall Saturday hopefully and then winter can end lol.

I've got one flake at 9pm I've noticed the automated met forecast really doesn't like predicting snow far out - likely will keep it dry and then on Saturday morning give us 10 hours of heavy snow.... that happened last weekend haha. BBC on the other hand has had light snow throughout Saturday for all of this week - stuck to its guns!
GFS gives us decent snow totals.

Snow showing on met office forecast again

Met Office 10 day trend is as always an interesting watch. They go into details about why we could see some snow with a risk freezing rain especially in Wales on Saturday as the front tries to push in from the Atlantic, but are confident we will return to mild and wet conditions by the end of the weekend and into next week.
Is Saturdays snow risk gone for South Wales mate?

The met office forecasts are based off the UKV which run every three hours. At 11am today the UKV was showing this:
which is why it was forecasting snow for Milford Haven. The latest run shows this for the same time shows this:
which is why it now doesn't forecast snow. It will probably change again in the next run so who knows what it will show next
Pretty crap for South Wales on Saturday going by the warning. They're obviously not taking any notice of the Icon.

Wonder if we'll see any warnings? My guess is that we won't.

All is not lost, ECM brings snow on Saturday.
