@Fergieweather just retweeted a guy saying it's now snowing in merthyr tydfil. not long now!

[Mark Neal.]

The rain has got that little bit heavier in last 10 minutes, looked sleety at times. Temperature @ 2.6c, Dew Point @ 0.7c.

[MP-R]

Temperature now starting to drop having hovered around 3C for the last few hours. Fingers crossed guys!

[Paul T]

I'm in one of the most NW locations of the SW and my temp has gone from 4.8 to 4.0 in 25 mins, it's starting to fall away...

[gottolovethisweather]

I'm already addicted to the forums Work has been v quiet this week so have had 5 hours a day to browse the forums and learn... I had no idea it was as interesting as it is.... Very addicted now!!!

Thanks for the help with everything - any beginners websites that you know of, please let me know! Thanks

Not sure what the link is called, but there is also a learners area if someone could perhaps provide a link to Sungirl. B)

Currently 3.5c AT, 3.1c DP, 985,2hpa AP and falling rapidly. 4.4mm thus far and a few hours more to come.

Let's hope the wraparound is still on as indeed it's turning to snow in parts of the west.

Cheers

Temperature - 2.9C

Dewpoint - 1.7C

Hmm quite a difference in DP there.

As john Holmes always points out, the netweather learners area on these very forums has a lot of excellent material, from basic to advanced. Take a read through it.

I'm too slow again.

DP 2.5C

Looking at raintoday it looks as if some of us might get a good long spell of clear skies before the wrap around begins - that should enable temps to drop nicely before the ppn starts again, don't you think? Is the main "storm" still off Lands End or has it passed south? I don't have any other radar.

Pressure: 980

Temp: 5.7 and falling

DP: 5.0 and falling

DP: 2.3C

Pressure: 984.5mb

[kold weather]

Radar looks pretty good right now, LP is starting to try and wrap around precip on its western flank, a sure sign of a strengthening low.

Precip over Wales should be getting a move on very soon!

[Mark Neal.]

Apparently someone has tweeted Liam Dutton (on twitter) now of channel 4 weather saying it is snowing in Eastcombe, Cotswolds.

Would this help me in Oxford, Kold? Also is this due to go south east? Gotta a funny feeling im gonna see nothing, please tell me i'm being wrong!

Hey lfcdude, you're gonna have to wait for hours for any wraparound colder air and ppn, I would have thought. Right up until 5/6 am.

Probably not worth waiting up for - unless you have all night to kill.

[Mark Neal.]

The rain here definitely has sleet in it, covering my mums car for a few seconds before disappearing. Temp- 2.3c. Dew Point: 0.7c

[lfcdude]

thats the plane drinking woodpecker so dont get drunk and when it snows.. go on a nice walk

[kumquat]

Good luck buddy, I expect you'll see something at some stage - better high ground and colder inland than us in Bristol. Just hope it won't be a damp squib of rain/sleet. Isn't Woodpecker very weak? Heheh I see you must be pacing yourself.

Back from Xmas party and I'm on the Stella for a good straight kick in the teeth - otherwise I'd be up all night. Wind seems to be howling, Precipitation seems to be diving south rapidly from Wales now - just hope it has some cold air with it.

temp: 2.7

DP: 1.8

Pressure: 983.6mb

Surface Wind: NNE veering N

Heavy ppn seems to be dropping out of Wales down this way like a stone. Lets hope there's some embedded cold uppers. Good luck, I'll window watch then its bed for me.
