There is a Championship discussion thread for the footy talk.

[andymusic]

Feel sorry for Bradley mind - innocent hero to Stacey's madness - manic depression

snow is a comin

well we don't know that yet!

I bet i wake up and there's no snow lol.

There are two large(ish) streams hitting Cym now from the Irish Sea - one for me which seems to be never ending (well, ending over Belfast) and the other heading (across the Lleyn) into Barmouth and onto Dolgellau. There is a smaller stream hitting near Aberystwyth heading SE towards Builth. DP here is -0.2 which is sufficient for light snow at the mo.

it'll be late morning getting to east wales Jay - it is supposed to get to west wales at about 6am then move across so don't expect much before about 8 - 9 ish - but in these situations the computers may be wrong

[Snowmadsam]

any snow for me tonight? (carms/pembs border)?

still had nothing

[nomad098]

I understand what you mean by an arc but there is deffinitely more eastward movement according to the radar than southerly

temps and dewpoints droping nicely here

and when I learn to read what I type maybe my post will make more sense

nothing till the morning for you 6am onwards - at the moment right now you are right in the "gap" - snow to the south of you and snow to the north of you - gutting eh!

Really pepping up out there. Some areas of mid/north Wales going have a real nice covering. Snowdonia and the Cambrians must have had a load this week. Let's hope it's a similar story down south in the morning...

I like to have the radar on on google earth. Can anyone tell me how up-to-date it is? Are we talking minutes or hours behind real time?

yep oh well when it comes it better be worth the wait!

I am not sure about Google, but I used to watch all sorts of free radar stuff (usually about 30 mins behind at least), until I discovered NW radar. You can get this for £3.49 /month, which whilst not peanuts is great value.

PS I said to the Mrs earlier "bloody radar says it should be snowing now....oh....it is...."

gonna be about 2 inches max tomorrow according to Dan the man corbett (high ground) - so not amazing - but the next fall sunday morning and the next one sunday night into monday will add significantly to that as well - so it'll start to pile up

Cheers andy lets hope so but to Andy everybody join in

The google earth one is just a layer and shows great big green "clouds". It's cool when you change your orientation as the radar sits above the earth. There's also a cloud layer.

[soupsurfer7]

WOW VERY heavy snow at the moment in mid Wales !!! Suddenly there's already 1-2 inches and snow is still falling - giant flakes, why weren't we warned about this? the roads are hazardous here!

[andymusic]

I didn't get too much thawing today and the sun was out quite a bit especially this morning - as long as there is not too much time between the falls - it will pile up

Nice advert for NW radar. Are you on commission? What sort of discount do you get? I might plug it myself if it's a significant saving!!

Looking forward to next week - even Cardiff might see some tidy snow
