Snow Watch: Cymru And South West England

[03jtrickey]

If what's currently over Exeter is expected to intensify as it heads north, I can't imagine how heavy it's going to be, and if it's snow.....!

Looks like northern France is getting a bit of a pasting at the moment.

Hmm its sleeting here at the moment has been for atleast 10 mins since I looked out... a bit of soggy slush on the windows of the car lol

temp dropped to 2.0c dewpoint is apparently -0.3 but its sleet.

elevation just 26m for anyone interested

[Nights King]

temperature still falling which is great! it just dipped below the magic number!!!

-0.1

[MP-R]

It's showing up as rain there not snow though.

Oh I see, well gettin drenched then. Hopefully that as snow would sort us out here in the southwest.

Circle has become much weaker, batch could miss southwales, southwest wales looking at the current direction of the bands.

[dogs32]

large areas turning to snow in Wales now

Although most of it isn't giving any PPN to us.

[Simon SWales]

I'm worried, I run a nightclub in Swansea and have to drive to Brynmawr on the Heads of the Valley at about 3 in the morning!

Still got approx 7 inches from Monday night!

The main band expected from midnight. That's the largest 'blob' on your radar shot, just approaching the Brest peninsula

[Jayfromcardiff]

You own Play? Good club!

Im a bit concerned now for the first time today.........Even though the trough down south might be heavy snow is that all there is to it

Yes I know its heavy but the stuff in France was meant to come here surely....

The radar is showing larger areas in Wales of snow...

edit I suppose its still in the developing stage

i wish I did, i'm just the Manager lol, actually the manager of Hereford Play but covering Swansesa

[Pickles]

Fine light snow just started falling here.

[swales]

What wrong with the radar? Should have had moderate snow just now!

The only PPN on radar near Cardiff is north of it. No PPN near the city.

just had a proper snow flurry here temp 1.2c hoping for more

This shows the expected precipitation at 8pm and the blob on the earlier charts to the South West of Torbay, turns into the heavier precipitation over South Wales later in the evening. Before another of precipitation moves up for the afternoon .

However you will not the difference between this and UKMO, so nothing certain at all.

Hope this is correct!
