Wales (cymru) - Regional Weather Discussion (part 4)

[nwales]

Few spots of drizzle here, temp 0.4c

[mickeyflyn]

lovely big flakes here in the higher part of newport now and getting heavier !!

[DeepSnow]

Im not so happy that the temperature is slowly on the rise, now -0.8C here with light snow and the slightest of coverings.

[nomad098]

Problem is we need this front to stall very soon to hold up the warm front behind

otherwise it will be rain all the way from this afternoon

We need the second front to hit us after dark and hopfully the cold front to be right behind it

Still light snow in Cardiff :clap:

and I was not expecting that to provide a covering so you never know

[willitbsunny]

Snizzle here....

[Herefordweather]

Snow coming down again but temperature on the rise. -1.2c

[mikeocarroll]

Raining more heavily now, bits of hail and sleet mixed in, and temp fallen back slightly to 0.1c (dp -3.3c). It's freezing patchily on impact so may make things slippy for a couple of hours. Not seen freezing rain since the mid to late 90s I don't think.

[mickeyflyn]

temp risen here 0 deg here now according to the car .

[CRACKPOT]

Here it comes by the looks of it here in Bargoed.... starting as snow and temperature still minus 2 !!!

Snow turning heavier and the road is now completely white, and settling on all surfaces.

It was supposed to revert back to rain during the afternoon, I wonder if this will happen earlier as the front is here earlier.

[Cwmbran Eira]

More flurries here. Temp holding steady at -1.1c at the moment

[immortal1969]

Snowing here in Brynamman

[mikeocarroll]

Rain west of Brecon and snow in Mumbles, Cardiff and Carmarthen? And they say we're renowned for odd weather!

Because the line of attack is NW-SE then the uppers are slightly lower towards the south of wales than the north, seems to be making enough of a difference as in most circumstances it would be the other way around with cold uppers here and Brecon rather than Cardiff/Swansea.

Snowing here again now. Gotta head up to Ebbw Vale now to do some shopping, always worse up there Thats the only gutting thing about me moving from there, it can be like a different world 5 miles down the road.

[TonyH]

Drizzle, 2c.

[DeepSnow]

Moderate snow now but fine snowflakes, temp rising quicker now -0.7C

[nwales]

Hmmmm last BBC forecast was more interesting for eastern Wales. Light sleet now, temp up though at 0.5c

[Gavla]

Woo hoo finally some flakes here.

[SnowStorm(Jamie)]

I can also confirm it is snowing in Swansea with some slightly bigger flakes blowing about. Not sticking here though but thats most likely because i am on lower ground.

[Gavla]

How long is this likely to last? As forecasted or have things changed because it arrived sooner etc

[worldairgroup]

Who can say whitout here even a few hrs of snow would be nice.

[Gavla]

Who can say whitout here even a few hrs of snow would be nice.

i agree, just want it to keep snowing lol. i hate knowing the fact that its going to change back to rain

[KTtom]

Shows how important cold uppers are (below -5 850hpa) is to get snow, currently w wales uppers are around 0. The temp outside is -0.5 c and yet its pouring with rain, not even any sleet in it!
