Wales Cymru Regional Discussion - January 15th 2013, 12z onwards

[KidCarm]

Oooooohhhhhhhh, I have just seen a gritter lorry pass now with a big fat snow plough on it. Is this actually happening for here?!

[David 'Minty' Hill]

Radar precipitation on the 1st and 2nd band is looking a tad... weak! Much better over ireland hmm

Yea does look a bit light, no pros commenting either at mo its a bit quiet

[Nevesy]

Im sure it will intensify as it comes inland, hopefully...

[David 'Minty' Hill]

Im sure it will intensify as it comes inland, hopefully...

Its hit tip of west wales already

[Herefordweather]

Greens and yellows will give you pretty heavy snowfall in fairness. Orange/Red are rare in snow events like this.

Accumulations of 2-4cms an hour possible in yellow slots, 1-3cms in green.

[Blackjack]

Well for anyone near AberG hopefully the ling to my weather station should work for current conditions, temps etc

[Ginkrots]

Yeah, it's weak all around Ireland but strong over land so maybe the same will happen for Wales. . . .

[David 'Minty' Hill]

Orange and reds which radar you looking at. I am using Meteox

[Clair_Witch]

Long time lurker here and I can't contain myself any longer.

I feel we are on the verge of the biggest dumping of snow in a long, long time.

I have everything crossed and hope we all get to see a good few inches.

Here we go guys and gals, welsh whiteout!

[Herefordweather]

Netweather extra.....Hardly looks weak to me. Moderate to heavy I'd say....

[Baldy Snowman]

snow line definitely more west on the latest run

by my reckoning, Cardiff is in for about 24-27 hours of snow

[judowidow]

Well for anyone near AberG hopefully the ling to my weather station should work for current conditions, temps etc

Thank you very much We are in Town :-) hopefully get to see some tomorrow :-)

[Scarlet_Snow]

Someone in the south west thread is posting updates showing the cold air from france racing across the English channel and turning the precip to snow on the precip type radar...looking good!

It's going to happen!

[jenko]

very unusual tonight at hengoed no frost or ice and very calm

[Baldy Snowman]

Monday's snow event looking much weaker for us on the current run

[Clair_Witch]

It's going to happen!

I believe!!!

[butters]

correct me if i am wrong but having just read the metoffice warning that states the band of snow will spread northeastwards from the south west and looking at the latest radar the worst of the band which is over ireland looks as if it will not be hitting south walesbut further north.i think things in the south do not look as bad as the warning indicates a bit of over hyping by the metoffice ?????

[blackrose73]

Not that busy in here tonight, I thought it would be in meltdown! Where is everyone?

Temp stubbornly holding at 2ºC here, I hope that cold air from France gets dragged in soon.

Monday's snow event looking much weaker for us on the current run

Who cares??

Tomorrow's snow event looking mega-promising. I'm a late 60s baby, so remember some epic snow events (Caerphilly 78, Pembs 82) and am soooo looking forward to an historic dump tomorrow.

[edit - the dump I'm referring to is clearly an historic dumping of snow as opposed to any other sort of dump you may think I was talking about]

[Herefordweather]

I think some of you have to take into account the effects that the mountains of Wales will have on the precip and also the wind will lead to drifting.

The Met Office don't put out a red warning for no reason. Heavy precip was always expected to hit northern ireland ect. We will get moderate - heavy snow driven on by a strong wind.

[Baldy Snowman]

Monday's snow event looking much weaker for us on the current run

as does Wednesday/Thursday

it's a weather forum, so I was discussing the weather.

[Snowmadsam]

erm...lets focus on tonight first hahaha

[Elnonio]

Looking at the rain today radar, bottom edge seems to be intensifying as it hits land in France. Hopefully will do the same for Pays de Galles!

Good luck everybody!!

[snowy36]

The great thing about this system is that this snow will last until our next chance on monday. Could be a epic week.
