Wales Cymru Cold Spell Discussion

very light rain here at costa del sol port talbot

bet we miss the snow again

[soupsurfer7]

Just had about half an hour of VERY heavy snow. Haven't seen such big snowflakes for many years.

[Avain]

It was always on the cards that this could fall asa sleet or even rain due to the warm air pocket associated with the front, the better chance of snow "proper" comes after the cold front with streamers off the sea. Sleet here right now OAT is 0.5 and yet there is a general thaw taking place. Not a huge amount of precip on the radar, unless it's very slow moving

Light snow just starting here

[The Weather Dragon]

There is an area of very heavy snow that has developed & should affect North Pembs & most of carmarthenshire soon

[welshwizard]

little snow coming down in Ogmore vale must be blown over from you guys in maesteg.

[Cymro]

Some of the biggest flakes ive ever seen 2cm accumilated resh on top in 5mins and its still coming down heavy

[cycloneuk]

All we have had is rain apart from a dusting of snow last night. Very deadly outside with black ice covering all paths and minor roads.

[Marcus_surfer]

Just starting to flurry here

virtually nothing coming down now, but some heavy stuff bearing down on us on the radar. should be with us within 20 minutes. looking very gloomy to the north west.

[Marcus_surfer]

Just seen the St Clears, looking like a blizzard from that heavy band that is in the SW of Wales, giving a very quick covering on the main road

Raining here now

I see what you mean about the snow flakes.......huge!!!!!!

[Arron]

Had another decent shower around 6am looking at raintoday, decent covering now for this area as we usually hardly get any (3-4cm in the back yard)

It's moving decidedly SE rather than south and the western arm is weakening as it moves right now, I doubt we'll see much from it.

[Totoro]

Not here it's not - I'm near Carmarthen - temp is -1c and it's just started snowing moderately, settling nicely too.

From the radar it looks like a nice dollop for us which may last half an hour or so.

[swales]

For everyone to see St. Clears
