Just been out and measured, between 1-2inches aready. 1inch on the pattio, and 2 inches on the green box thing we keep out summer chairs etc in! still heavy blowing snow here although still small flakes.

[Marcus_surfer]

Snow stopped here but temperature has sharply dropped to 0.8c. Bedlam on the roads away from the sea, a car has overturned at Murton petrol station and there's a tailback to Mumbles Road.

Nope, still hasnt really stuck along the main road even on the grass.

2cm fallen here since 3pm so not bad & still coming down. I can't see this lasting till tomorrow lunchtime tho - the front will have passed us by 9pm tonight I reckon....anyone else think the same?

[Phantom2]

Snow very light now in Rhoose, slight covering on top of what was already on the ground ..i guess the heavier stuff is on it's way later tonight

[Wales123098]

Still snowing, 5inches of snow on the ground now. 2inches today (so far) and the left overs from the other day(3inches)

who knows what this front will do as regards slowing up hitting the cold air or stalling etc

[baggielad]

I have to say that I didn't expect the snow to stick today but we have about 1-2cmn the grass and the (side) road outside the house is covered.

Looking at the radar we could be hit by another heavy burst shortly.

Quite rough here and blowing all over the place with quite a bit of settling snow - just got up my street in the car and parked up - anyone else will now struggle as it is impossible to get any grip. Temperature has dropped to 0.1 degrees - wind is very strong.

This keeps up - it will be substantial - hope there is no let up!

[soupsurfer7]

loads to come

[TonyH]

Light to moderate snow since 1515 here has given a fresh but rather slushy covering. Temp good though now 0.2c and dp -1.2c, after a max 1400 of 2.3c. Still 10cm left on the lawn from last Tuesday has not melted much. Drifting from fields onto lanes from old snow with the fresh east wind today.

The band over south Wales seems to be losing intensity atm.

Some nice pink on radar reach swansea in an hour.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Look at the 850 wind vectors showing the ppn driving around the low into Wales - tasty.

[DeepSnow]

I hope i dont have school lol, thought i had an exam tomoz but its actually thursday lol still heavy, blowing snow here, hope its like this for a long time!! really hope the front slows and stalls over us giving a dumping lol. if it was to be like this all night, could have maybe 6inches or more in the morning, although it wont last that long will it?

it's going to ease off for you by the looks of it, but you are well in the snow level, so you should have steady blowing snow all night. bit worried our snow is going to turn back to rain/sleet. we're really close to that level here on the radar. if it doesn't, there's some juicy looking stuff brewing over in Somerset.
