Sorry to sound a pest but nobody seems to have answered lol are they likely to move into south Wales tonight?

I'd be Surprised if there any snow in Wales tonight perhaps some wintry showers in Pembrokeshire.

Tomorrow Night not Thursday is a different story though.

not quite south west I know but a friend just drove from Stroud to Swindon at 20mph in blizzards -why can't it be further west?

He would have had to to go over the hills to do that journey, hence blizzards. No blizzards here. Still snowing just not big flakes anymore.

cars going white and my road...feels as though temp as dropped within the last 30 mins...very heavy at times here

Settling quickly now because of the size of snowflakes.. already a covering.

[Nights King]

Wow, flakes are very big now, 4cm diameter?

About 5 years ago i watched flakes that were the size of a hand id say but the thing that amazed me was they were like an inch thick individualy

there seems to be a couple of beefy green echo's on south coast that have intensified over last 4/5 timeframes and they look like going through more of central somerset bristol direction.

Well sods law says il go through the gap between them.

Must have been another shower here, cos when I looked out all the footprints had been covered up... comes as a nice suprise!

Gritted roads are now covered

If they maintained that intensity even bristol would get snow. however lets wait see if they make it to mendips first

Even better still those two huge showers look like merging?

I hope that beefy shower swings west a little bit, could do with a nice covering

Whats your postcode mate?

[snowking]

Just missed a pefect picture opportunity, a fox came trotting down the main road! Absolutely incredible

Starting to die out here now i think, flakes getting slightly bigger i asume as a result of downdrafts dissipating and the flakes becoming wetter

Just short of an inch though has fallen here in around 20 mins

It doesn't look as if Taunton is getting anything. I had better set my alarm clock for work tomorrow then.

Sorry I can't give anything else to this thread. My weather knowledge is absolute zilch. I look out of the window and that is it.
