It has got colder even on the coast, 1 degree drop in the last hour, this is a good sign for mountains and hills further north

Mostly sleet in Brecon at the moment but some snow in heavier bursts. Would love to see some proper stuff - more fun to have snow than damp and miserable on holiday!

Not 10.30am yet Jay - and then it goes up till 9pm tonight

Quite a lot falling in Newport now- have to say looks pretty damp out there and its gonna take a hell of a lot more than this to cause major problems

Thumbs up to the Met Office though - said it was due to start at 10:30 and at 10:16 it just started

Still no snow here.

sorry to hear that Joo - it's still snowing here - admittedly it's struggling a little to settle properly mind - so the snow level must be around 100m (with proper settling snow above my location at the moment) + but Jay in Cardiff said he's seeing some flakes - so you can't be far away from seeing at least something
