Wales Cymru Cold Spell Discussion

[DeepSnow]

so we cloud see some snow here again then tonight or early morning? would be nice. Temp now 2.7C and slowly falling. The street road is starting to get sparkly bit under the streetlights, so i think the melt water might actually be starting to freeze a bit already. Bring on the snow lol

[soupsurfer7]

Why is it suddenly so warm? Temp now 2.8C and its raining!

[Cymro]

-3 here already no more snow thawing now got a 80% cover still which is really good considering its been wall to wall sunshine and the temp has risen to 4 degrees today for a brief ten minutes.

I think because we have had more of a westerly airflow today, today is the warmest day of this cold snap coming up for next week

[Icequeen]

Everything appears to be freezing over now.... Have noticed someforcasts changing the chances of snow in Swansea now up to 40% here on net weather from0%. this afternoon.

[swales]

Raining in Aberystwyth?

What...?

Not good signs for coastal areas, freezing here now though

When this band moves south how much would it raise humidity and temperature?

[DeepSnow]

well the bad doesn't seem to be doing to bad precip wise, for now anyway. Just hope its not rain when it gets here, hopfully now its getting dark the temp will fall enough so that when and if it gets here we have snow rather than anything else. Temp still falling slowly now 2.5C.

Hopefully bbc and meto are wrong (last night)

Hopefully showers will pepp up

There was a Severe Weather Warning, last night, the BBC and Meto had been forecasting the chance of showers well before the event, but normally they do tend to underplay it.

100% Spot on.

100% Spot on.

The warmer sea is making it rain in lowlying aberystwyth... air temps down south are a lot colder in the snow fields of pembrokeshire and carmarthenshire.

[soupsurfer7]

I'm 10 miles inland from aber and 140 metres asl, not looking good :o:(

"The snow fields of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire"... now that has a good ring to it!

[soupsurfer7]

This is heavy stuff guys, great if it turns to snow:)

Hopfully as the night goes on and it comes further south it will turn more to snow :S

The front is moving south, but the precipitation is moving SSE.

[DeepSnow]

The front is moving south, but the precipitation is moving SSE.

still hope it turns to more to snow, but is there much of a chance of that happening?

I am from Garnant by the way lol

-3 here already :o no more snow thawing now got a 80% cover still which is really good considering its been wall to wall sunshine and the temp has risen to 4 degrees today for a brief ten minutes.

[marclt]

Currently 0.1c here, westerly wind blowing. Pressure is rising too. More cloud to the north/northwest... moving ese. No precipitation as yet... Temp hasn't risen much over 1c all day, but there has been snow melt from snow on branches and leaves etc.

I'll post again later. Snow has melted much more quickly in south pembrokeshire and around the coast. Aberporth got up to 4c today... the snow surely melted there!

[Cymro]

I am from Garnant by the way lol

Byd bach hey, Why is your location as swansea then?

[soupsurfer7]

Gone down to 1C now, and rain stopped

[NiikAURA]

It initially started out as sleet, then turned to heavy snow around 3:30pm.

The roads are absolutely atrocious here

[Wales123098]

Will it make its way down to southern Rhondda Cynon Taff(Llantrisant, Cardiff North)? Im sure it would be snow here the temperture are below freezing here.

Only a few miles east here in Wrexham town we have had hardly no snow over the whole period.........only a smattering a few days ago that soon rained away.
