Welsh Cold Spell Discussion

[Cymro]

I don't mean to be rude but surly there was more traffic on in february and things just contained themselves this is pathetic atm with the forum with all due respect.

[keithlucky]

Both ECM and UKMO look good for extending cold spell until Christmas, much better than GFS.

John kettley on the radio no chance of a white xmas in south uk possibility for glasgow incredible bold statement considering how forecasters hate to give week ahead.

[SnowStorm(Jamie)]

Currently snowing lightly again

Poeni dim. I think they try their best.

That was a heavy shower, didn't last long but gave a nice dusting everywhere - all the roofs, roads, paths etc are white. Looks nice and festive. Unexpected too.

As for next week, UKMO and ECM are better than GFS for cold and the GFS 12z op is a mild outlier.

Dwi'n gwybod eu bod nhw'n treial eu gorau ond gyda thwf ddiweddar yn y safle yma basech chi'n meddwl eu bod nhw wedi ystyried hyn ac felly diweddaru'r serfers.

I know that they are trying their best but with the recent grouth of the site you would think that eu would have considered this and updated the servers.

Just had some light snow here in bridgend, only lasting a few seconds as it was from the edge of a shower, hope to get more snow tonight!

[Jamie.]

BBC Wales Today said widespread snow Saturday is possible and showers Sunday. Yay!

New Servers are set be on on line tomorrow morning.

Bydd Serfers yn dod online yn ystod bore fory.

Apparently the A470 is set to be closed between Merthyr and Brecon with 3-4 inches of snow from the 1 shower, with this set clearing Port Talbot shortly.

ECM for Christmas Day looks very interesting indeed with easterly winds ahead of a front pushing up form the south.

[swales]

Looks like they had a covering

Currently on the radar there is a shower which quite looks intense, heading for Carmarthenshire. I hope it makes it.

if this came off would ths mean more snow for us?

[Barb]

3-4 inches from one small shower looks one hell of an exageration I think.

[andymusic]

All depends when it happens and how strong the cold still is to hold on against the usual Atlantic onslaught - but a lot of snow is very possible

[Barb]

ECM interesting for Xmas day but FI is Monday at the moment. Certainly good potential for a channel low + battleground snow for Wales though next week...

That's what Derek said on the forecast just before 7.

I heard him too but I'm in Merthyr near storey arms and got that shower quite well too looking at radar and only had a dusting.

Ooooh. I think this happened early last year when a system from the south moved up against the cold, further north than anticipated, and gave us a 2nd day of heavy snow (was a Thurs and Fri in Feb). The BBC were apologising for the error that evening .

But yes all depends on how much the cold air dominates during the period .

[Snowmadsam]

Watching the radar closely now as there seems to be a longer spell of snow coming

Come on lets have a litte teaser before the big thing

Doesn't look very intense at all

[CLH the red dragon]

No, the locations have gone off. we are not to blame!!

I noticed that after I posted. Shame!

Pencoed, dry and clear.

[bennytes]

got a covering here in maesteg. seems to be freezing solid as well.

not over the moon about it, because i'm a courier, so tomorrow looks like being FUN!

edit - OMG, what's the odds on that? me and CLH above joined the SAME day! :blink:

Doesn't look like we'll get any/much Tonight. The showers from the North fizzle out by the time they reach the Midlands.

[we_want_snow]

What are you Welsh folk thinking about the prosepects for E.Wales and Shrewsbury on the border over the next few days???

Thanks

Just saw the Countryfile forecast. Nothing for South Wales until maybe Tuesday / wednesday when there could be a 'battle' between the cold air and a warm front moving up from the SW. I don't think they know whats going to happen - 'watch the forecasts' he said!
