Wales Cymru Cold Spell Discussion

[keithlucky]

Looks like we could get a few cms from the band from the north.

[pascalsbongo]

The northern and midlands batch seem to have converged and heading south west directly towards .......SWANSEA.

Surely this cant be , it cant get this far south west can it?? surely it will burn out over the beacons??

Since this is quite a rare event , how reliable can we say these new models are??

It must be pretty easy to predict the usual atlantic dross , but this is not the norm , so how are these models programmed and i would guess even the most knowledgable forecasters must struggle with all this.

When was the last time this type of situation occured?? 80 s??

Hi guys and girls, not been on for a few hours, things looking much better at the moment, just seen radar, anyone got snow in mid wales, what are the accumalations? Thanks

[WINTRY WALES]

What i dont understand is that this front that has swivelled from the north over us has nothing to do with the main band coming up from the south later right??

Looking at the radar i dont see any front heading our way from the south. Am i missing something?

this snow coming in now is the slow moving band - we may get a little of the english stuff tomorrow morning as well!

I report you to netweather for swearing saying that T word,

I apologize and I won't mention politics again.

[pyrotech]

Ok

I have added two pictures, one is met office radar and other is surface analysis. I have added comments and arrows to the analysis. Hopefully you will see the extent of percipitation on the radar as analysis only shows cloud. I have added a red hatched area to show heaviest percipitation on analysis. Hope this helps

Sorry radar would not load but analysis explains it

evening all, well its taken me 3.5 hours to get from Pembroke to Milford Haven - about 8 miles for just 1 1/2". so, are we still going to get a really good pasting, or even any more tonight this far west please?

thanks you

woody

I think the precipitation over Mid Wales, will give at least some snow to all of South Wales overnight as it pushes S/SW. Not huge amounts but a covering I would imagine for most.

[andymusic]

Just starting to snow here in Ponty

[bennytes]

[mickeyflyn]

wow its snowing here now biggest flakes i`ve seen in years and i`m 45,its really heavy too .

[andymusic]

getting heavier now!!!!!!!!

I think swansea actually might do very well out of this!

[bennytes]

hardly tricky to work out that the place showing the heaviest snowfall on the radar will have the heaviest snowfall.

I think the people on this thread want to know what will happen with all the snow showing up in the radar around the wales region.

ps. i know nothing about what will happen but can read a radar.

hmmm

any need for that?

[Jayfromcardiff]

getting heavier now!!!!!!!!

Same.

[mrmonopoly]

Jack I been watching the Radar is it me but it looks like the low is moving west again as it starts to wrap or am I seing things because thats what I want to see.

Call it a hunch or a feeling ( I usually get it storm chasing and its usually right)

That low is going to swing further west for us.
