So a spell of snow is likely before the low then starts to sink Southwards away from the UK:

We have another nice dusting and still snowing moderate. Not had a dusting in the daytime for years in my location.

[Icequeen]

Lots of schools closed here in Swansea ,snow all the way from city centre to morriston and sun came out just when I picked up the kids:( hope ther is more to come here I feel guilty now!!!!!

[Cymro]

Sun come out for the first time today altho there are flakes blowing about to. Thick cloud moving in however. Looking good. Tonight looks like it will miss us though doesn't it?

As usual the comp closes and the little kids in Croesty tought it out. And there is absolutely no reason to close the comp today. There is a small amount of slush and that's it.

[willitbsunny]

Does it? Where is the snow tonight going to fall then?

[soupsurfer7]

grrrr black clouds teasing us with no snow lol

[Blackjack]

Brightend up here. Light dusting of snow, thats about it.

Cannot believe Merthyr didn't get a dumping.

FIngers crossed that i get home and SE Wales and Midlands gets a shed load tonight

[in the vale]

Has been snowing heavily / moderately for 30 mins here. Temp still 1.2C. Looks like the band is coming in SW across the Irish Sea.

[Cymro]

Weather online is still saying we could have it in Wales tonight, hmm?

[whiskers]

[when i watched the welsh news last night derek said snow for south wales for wednesday as well, bbc news just said we wont have any tomorrow is this that snow? or are we due some tomorrow as well

My kids are in Brynna. Its the fact the teachers have to travel that is closing the school. Still, I wouldnt be sent home form work though

[Totoro]

Very good technical analysis of the situation here:

Best to start with the 11Z update near the bottom - looks like we will, as forecast, miss out on the heaviest snow.

This mornings GFS 06z run showed snow right through to tomorrow afternoon for most of south Wales!!!! all depends where this low sets up shop - but it's only just stopped here and we've already had an amazing amount of snow a few inches deep - more showers coming in off the irish sea as well

It's really not that bad out there. As usual they take the decision early. There is a little bit of lying slush and all the surface frost has been taken out by that. It's actually safer out there today than last night.

[when i watched the welsh news last night derek said snow for south wales for wednesday as well, bbc news just said we wont have any tomorrow is this that snow? or are we due some tomorrow as well

One thing i will say that's really annoying me is the complete ignorance towards the weather situation in Wales by news 24, talking about how schools are closed in cornwall, west midlands, manchester and northern England, Not a mention about Wales, despite the fact we've probably had the amount of snow most places will get tomorrow. Also nothing on the travel situation or anything in Wales, completely unacceptable and to be honest what do you expect in an Anglo centric culture media, Independence for Wales and Welsh weather we might get more snow then.

P.s Bwrw eira'n drwm yma eto

Snowing heavy here again.
