Where are the showers mate lol, i'm gutted.

[Snowyowl9]

Had 2 light snow showers just,another one coming from the west distant.

Temps are up to 0.9c with thawing started of precious little snow.

[Wales123098]

Cloud is increasing to the north, snow showers are approaching I think, hopefully, be very light and local though.

Yes we are pretty much the 1/6th of the UK without snow at all, most areas around the UK have had snow except from the South West and S Wales. This is turning out very disapointing, a big cloud has just blocked the sun here.

[we_want_snow]

Shropshire has had no snow aswell

I'd love to get some sort of streamer tonight lol and have inches dumped.

[bluetoff]

Raining now here in the north.

I have a funny feeling that we'll end up with nothing to be honest.

would it be on iplayer?

Trouble is the wind's now too westerly. The showers in the north aren't being blown down to south Wales, but across to the borders.

If it's not one thing, it's another!

Just goes to show what a difficult combination of factors we need for snow.

[A_T]

We've got snow that's settled - showers are blowing in from the north.

OMG look at this for Xmas Eve!!!! Why can't metcheck be right for once??

[Cymro]

Country tracks week ahead forecast i take your on about because countryfile has finished untill the new year? Wasn't overly promising in my personal opinion far to sketchy and marginal yet again.

[soupsurfer7]

That was soooo annoying - I just saw a snow shower pass about 1km away from me:(

Almost a foot of snow, I'd take that for Christmas.

BBC mentioned snow showers into S. Wales tonight as winds turn SWly.

[andymusic]

Most of our best snow periods in the south of wales have been when a low comes up from the south and bumps into cold air -

Easterlies don't tend to deliver because of the travel required for the showers to get over land

Northerlies struggle as well because of the mountains in north and mid wales

Westerlies struggle with temperature over the Atlantic ocean

so we are just left with a southerly low hitting cold air

[swales]

Let's hope Laura Tobin will give us some then next time... snow that is

[Barb]

That's what the GFS is forecasting ti happen on Christmas eve. Now whether that actually happens is quite another thing of course. Plausible though.
