[Jayfromcardiff]

A lot of cloud has passed over nothing here though, the clouds are moving slower than earlier however.

Not likely for east wales tonight jay but you never know - seems to be more activity than just a streamer for pembs and carms - west wales

had heavy snow shower in northwest wales, place were all white, but melted now!!!

[Cymro]

this is very poor atm i was expecting something by now, the radar is preforming poorly too

[J10]

Dry here atm, but more activity seems to be heading our way over the next couple of hours, looking at the radar. At least the clear skies so far help lower temps before the showers come.

Quite a few showers out there, should continue to develop through the night also.

Not really that much of a event as forecast,sunday looks to be the main day going off the skys francis forecast i have just seen.

Looks like there will be a few batches whistling through here soon but possibly too fast,not amounting to much at all.

This easterly aslo appears to be some way off,and im having none of it until it comes within the 5 day forecast.

I think i will awake to a very light melting smattering if lucky.

This weekends northerly was never gonna deliver what we had earlier this month - gonna have to wait for later next week to see how this easterly developes - we will have one - just need to firm up on how potent it's gonna turn out!

got my eye on a wadge of precip that seems to be targeting cardiff eventually - currently over snowdonia - probably a shortish shower but could give us a whitish covering in a few hours if it's not sucked dry over the welsh hills!

And their's more tucking in from the irish sea behind that - so possibilities tonight!

Off topic - who drives a Toyota or Honda car?

Its always better to fear the worst ,as it makes it so much better when you awake to a thick blanket of snow.

When i said winter was over in a earlier post , i really didnt mean it ok lol.

Anyway, i think winter is over now.

Coat .... blah blah

not getting me hopes up - already had and seen plenty of snow now this winter - 3ft drifts at times - anything else now will be a bonus before I get the barbie out for the glorious summer we are supposed to be having this year

Am trying not to say anything but there is something out there heading this way, ahhh it will only be rain for sure . shhhhhhh

Snowing in swansea looks like a streamer developing.

Definitely, and quite a decent one according to the radar, could do with it (slightly) further to the east though.

[TonyH]

Light snow flurry, bit too warm to settle though at 1.5c.

Looks like the Cardigan Bay streamer should to its work tonight, slightly west of here atm.

It does seem to pulling east ever so slightly, are the winds set to turn a more westerly direction? That would help things

Still nothing here :/

[pascalsbongo]

Snowing now winter is back on.

[Marcus_surfer]

Snowing moderate but need a heavy burst for anything to settle

[Cymro]

I knew that was going to be the case just didnt want to be in the miss zone however things could change so I wont write nothing off yet.
