Wales Cymru Cold Spell Discussion.

Looks like we could see some showers later and overnight, hopfully of snow! Temps shot up thismorning, reached 6.5C at 10:45am, now gone back down to 5.3c and seems to be falling slowly. Fingers crossed for those showers. Is there any chance of seeing anything tomorrow night? or tuesday? as netweather seems to give us snowshowers tonight/tomoz morning, tomoz night/sunday morning, monday and tuesday. I hope to see something in the next few days then if they are right! wind seems to be coming from the W/NW.

I'm surprised that you got as high as 6.5C.

Here near Carmarthen I'm currently on my 'highest' of -2C

Looking at NAE, wintry (snow) showers, most likely this evening and into tomorrow morning.

While NMM goes for a band pushing south (hitting South Wales) around 9pm tonight, with more general showers, this evening.

Lol the weather station is on the top of the washing line at the bottom of the garden, the only place i could put it to get any proper readings. I just been out back and it doesn't seem overly cold, esp in the sun. Could it possibly be to do with me being in abuilt up area etc, so it stays warmer than areas around us? i just can't think of any other reason as it doesn't seem to be falty atall.

Well fingers crossed we will finally get some snow cover on the ground at some point in the next 24 hours!

Off to West Brecon Beacons today, hopefully see some snow showers later.

You won't see much in the way of Snow cover maybe if you go a little further in past capel Gwynfe to the higher reaches around Carreg Lwyd but you'll have to be lucky, and as for snow showers we hace blue skies here wall to wall sunshine it's bitter though -1 frost persisting in most places.

Tonight screams alot of potential we did well in a setup like this on the Friday of that cold spell in february we had 2 inches.

Looking at BBC Forecast the NW Winds will bring showers off Irish Sea into Wales this Evening. Quite a few on the map for west and reaching the South too. Further west, better the chance of one of these showers.

Is your thermometer in direct sunlight?

You'll find you get temps shooting up around sunrise and dipping once the sun is higher in the sky.

Just thought I'd share a few snaps of our travels yesterday. Drove over the Cambrian mountains first towards Llanidloes, and then attempted to drive over the mountain pass from Llanidloes to Machynlleth. We were however greeted with some huge snow drifts and so couldn't get over but decided to walk to the top and get some photos on the way up. I have to say the scenery was awesome, I've never ever seen anything like it!

Yeah kinda, its got a case thing around it with the air gaps, but i think the sun does warm it a bit! it now says 6.8c, went up to 7.6C earlier. Nothing i can do about it unfortunatlly because if i put it in a shaded area, then i dont get proper wind reading. Not sure what i can do really.

Quite a bit of cloud to my north/northwest now, its hard to tell but i think the clouds are moving more west to east so might miss me, but i might get lucky, some clouds look like that in the pic by Avain in snowmadsam's post above!

What's your location?

Now the sun is covered by a cloud i can see that they are actually moveing from north/north west to south. Hope for some showers in there somewhere! there seems to be quite a bit coming to the west of wales, any chance they will make it to the south around my area?
