Too wet to settle:(

[nomad098]

snowing nicely here

not heavy enough to settle due to ground being wet

[CLH the red dragon]

Biggest flakes I've ever seen in the 'Diff.

[DeepSnow]

Started of as rain here, now it sleet, would be nice if it turns to full on snow soon although not sure it will! and its to wet to settle if it did but nice to watch! fingers crossed, temp 2.2C

looking at the radar it shows rain or snow from swansea to bristol right now but it is very light drizzle here,it must be local or that we are far to west and also to mild at the moment.

[nomad098]

temps dropping rapidly dewpoint the same

lovely snow and even trying to settle as well

[Jayfromcardiff]

got lovely big flakes here - the "front" has heavier and lighter pulses in it - you'll get one or the other

Been snowing here all morning, but not settling except for the tops of the mountains.

[nomad098]

Snowing bucket loads here :yahoo::yahoo:

and really getting a foothold on the ground as well

[valley blue_501]

Been snowing on and off all morning here in Blaenavon, but it has increased over the past 30 mins and sticking on the pavements and grass, also on the car park in work so lets hope it keeps up!

[andymusic]

Reall really heavy again here - we're getting your sloppy seconds Cardiff LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Herefordweather]

Starting to get going here again. Mainly sleet at the moment, however the temperature is dropping quickly now.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Settling here but not alot.

[andymusic]

Settling here but not alot.

ground temps are a little high - not sure we had a frost last night - that would have helped get the ground ready for this - it's even struggling up here to stick!

[joo]

I declare an upgrade to heavy wet SLEET.

If it wasn't for the Cardiff Bay webcam, I would accuse you all of telling me porkies.

[alijoe]

I am a bit fed up actually..... we had wet snow earlier but only lasted for a bit and now nothing. I am just jelious at Cardiff I think. lol

If it didn't rain here we would have an inch by now.

[nomad098]

Gone from big wet flakes to smaller dryer flakes but just as heavy and everything turning white

Tried uploading a photo but would not let me

Cardiff barage weather station packed up so not sure of temps

Snowing quite heavy here on the coast, nice big flakes - in fact huge flakes!

Nothing settling though because of the wet ground, however it does look beautiful

Ali - from looking at the radar - you've got some heavier precip coming your way shortly - you may get to see some snow then - sorry your not getting what you want right now - warning is up to 9pm tonight from the meto - so a long way to go yet!

Must be getting colder then which is good.
