Considering everything, I'll make a bold prediction that the valleys will get pasted by this...

You can quote me on that, or maybe the Christmas merriment is getting to me... but I think this sucker could actually come off for once.

Last night i did close the curtain ,look myself in the mirror and say "Part 1 is finished you wuss, get over it".

And that was what i thought until now , as for the first time i flicked on a weather forecast(sky) , and ok they are usually long way behind the times, but it did show sleety/snow heading south easterly accross West Wales until about 3 or 4 am.

So if that forecast still as any relevance then anyone with a bit of height may get a white christmas after all.

If one snow flake equals a white christmas , then how many sleet flakes does it take?? 1000??

If snow falls in flakes , rain falls as droplets or spitting or picking or whatever, what does sleet fall as??

Sleaks? Slakes? snakes? Slain?

Snakes of sleet , i like it.

Happy Christmas to all HO HO HO

Despite the remnants of snow clearing from garden, still some snow, which was cleared from driveways a few days ago, so snow into Christmas. Also quite a bit of ice still in the shade, these areas have been frozen solid for days, and will possibly take a few more days to thaw.

There is still a covering here, albeit a slushy and increasingly thin one. Will count as a covering on Christmas day though, which is nice I suppose.

Drive cleared of snow but garden and fields still covered. The snow is so hard where ice has frozen over and sealed it all.

Will be a nice white christmas.

Would be a bonus if we had snow showers tonight but I'm content (until next week) :drinks:.

I love your positivity Jackone ,hanging in there to the bitter end, i have a few tiny grey slushy mushy lumps on steps and on areas protected from the sun and most of the rain.

I suppose this is what we in Swansea call a white christmas , if so then , count me in !!

White christmas in Pascals garden !!

Who needs altitude !!

When my son and i drive down the back of Tycoch hill , its a ritual to ask each other if that snowman from February this year may still be there(even though its long gone).

It must have lasted a good week after the thaw, so would that count as extra met office snow days??

Happy christmas , and thanks for your contribution to this wonderful web site!

Hi all i am in the Midlands.

Drove to Coventry today.

Sunny when left home, mist and fog at times from brecon. Most parts across wales had some snow cover with Crickhowell and Abergavenny having 2 or 3 inches unmelted snow and snow/rime on trees. Little snow left through midlands.

Max at home

4.6c @ 1330.

The 18z GFS is better for us in South Wales, snow from the start and right down to the coast on this run. Many hours of heavy snow:

I concur, but its very unlikley it will be us poor low landerers!

The last white christmas i can remember was in 95 when it snowed heavily for a few hours in the early hours , however i did live way up north at the time.

This is just typical of my luck.

The cold spell down here ends and the mild front follows me up north as im off there late tomorrow(where i expected to have a great time in deep snow), then whilst i am up there it starts snowing heavily back in south wales.

Im convinced it will be the worst weather south wales has suffered in 30 years , purely by the fact that i wont be there.

Also by the time i come back down to witness the remnants, a south westerly will have pushed in once more.

Finished wrapping now, so a few drinks and merry xmas to all!!

It is not a true White Christmas, as we saw in 1993, 2001 and 2004, with 1993 seeing wet morning snow, 2001 4 inches of snow in the evening, and 2004 1 inch of snow in the evening. A better ratio than much of the UK.

However tomorrow will count as a day with lying snow, as there still is snow on the ground, not positivity, reality. Certainly the run of Met Office snow Days has ended at 4. I have kept such figures for over 10 years, and objectivity is essential for this.

Im trying to inject a bit of seasonal humour here, and i find the whole slushy/ grey muddy /left over snow drift thing, quite amusing when it comes to counting it as a white christmas

Reality in terms of the definition of what a "met office snow day " is to myself not really a snow day.

However to others, the technical definition would define it as so.

If you had to re define a snow day in your own terms , would you say a grey slushy muddy mess would count as a white christmas???

If you say so then on this instance im with you , WHITE CHRISTMAS IN SWANSEA WOOHOOO MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
