Good luck to you guys. I think S Wales will do well out of this setup, possibly 10cm+ fresh snowfall.

TUESDAY 2 PM LONDON TIME

EUROPE...ENJOY THE BREAK.

Like the winters of yore a January thaw. But I want to remind you that the physical drivers for the cold winter are still there. And winter will come back

Here are the facts though.. The forecast stressed that the area from Germany to Scandinavia would be coldest. So far that is the case for the winter. Its warm in southeast Europe. This column is not meant to nail every site here.. that is what I do for private concerns and that involves a great deal of work. But a couple of days ago I told you a thaw is coming relative to what it has been. And this is by no means the end of this winter. It will come back again and stubbornly last into March. But when we total all this up, we will see that like the winter I referenced you, 02-03, the coldest will be in the areas described..even though like the US it will wind up colder overall than 02-03.

I have been reading about England, and this "break" will help out. What will help out more is if your leaders so bent on saving the planet 100 years from now would understand that chasing what may be a ghost of the future does no good when you are caught off guard today. Lets see if the dogmatic turn practical in this important issue of our day. No man KNOWS the future... No time is ever certain except today, and yesterday is the foundation on which we reach. I am hoping at the least, this winter of our discontent will teach people that.

bbc 2pm forecast just said they are not expecting and great amounts of snow across sw or wales ??? whats that all about then

and after Dancing Derek jumping around showing snow for all of Wales between now and tomorrow afternoon on the 1.45pm bbc 1 forecast - mmmmmmmmmm!

Temperature now 0.2C Dewpoint -2.3C and both falling. We now wait for the whiteout. There is now no doubt we are going to get a pasting up here in the Rhondda...

[baggielad]

Its just started snowing in Mumbles.

The air temp is currently 2.2c so I think this bodes well especially in light of the snow reports in the SW in low lying areas. This could be a major event!

[Totoro]

A tiny smattering of small snowflakes now darting around in the wind.

Temp is still +1.3c

[andymusic]

meto has the warning from 4pm for wales - I think it's gonna get here sooner than that and has done as the intial reports are now coming in!

[NorthantsSnow]

Temperature now 0.2C Dewpoint -2.3C and both falling. We now wait for the whiteout. There is now no doubt we are going to get a pasting up here in the Rhondda...

No doubt at all! The latest NMM would suggest just under 16cm fresh snowfall by 9am tomorrow for your location.

[chopper66]

Snowing in Mumbles! 2.1c

[derrylynne]

I have a feeling this is going to be a very major event compared with recent winters. My father in law were going to go to bowls tonight - just told him to forget it unless he fancies walking home. Said when it starts snowing - expect not to get out for at least a day....
