Stopped in Cardiff for over an hour now. Any more to come?

Hasn't stopped here yet. Very light snow all day after this mornings heavier offerings. A slight thaw on, but still the flakes fall out of the sky. Still a chance of some light showers coming off the bristol channel, and how knows what else to come!

[Baldy Snowman]

nothing showing on radar but snowing lightly here, with the odd moderate burst

[Snowmadsam]

[orcacrew]

The sleet has turned to snow in saundersfoot at last!! But it's only blowing in the wind

[djwayne]

[freeze for all]

Same here it hasnt stopped all day but it hasn't amounted to anything since we had the heavy snow this morning

[Ginkrots]

17cm / 7 inches of snow in the field near me (Newport). Must have blown about and built up. Much better than the 2-5cm that was hinted at for coastal areas.

[dyl232]

Its mad here foot drifts and more in some areas

anyone up from north western areas of wales?

radar showing some enormous amounts of snow. Must be horrendous conditions out there

anyone clarify?

cheers

[Sionzzz]

It's been snowing non stop here aince 8am, heavy at times, moderate usually, and still nothing much, 2cm on grass, nothing has stuck on the pavements etc. I'm so gutted.

[chubbystuff]

snow stopped here for about 45mins , snowing again now and the sky is really grey

[A_T]

not snowing here now but sky very heavy - radar shows stuff just to the west of us

[snefnug]

Still snowing in Glyn Ceiriog with bigger flakes. Gritters and road clearers doing a herculean job. Only cars passing are the 4x4, reckon they just out cos they can be!

What ever is to the SW is racing in. Still snowing lightly here despite nothing on radar. Could just be snow being blown around tho.

[Wales123098]

Anyone know whats happening to the SW? Sat shows it racing in but does it contain any precip?

i'm suspicious of it, not least because the radar shows nothing where I am, yet it is definitely snowing

[Ginkrots]

Radar showing nothing out into the Irish sea regarding that cloud. The snow people are having now is from showers.

[Angleseylad]

Still heavy snow here....a good 5" so far

[Bonjangle]

look here as i posted earlier , click on satellite there is something coming from the SW http://www.meteociel.fr/observations-meteo/satellite.php

No precip unfortunately.

[Ginkrots]

But that cloud is in range of the precip radars already and netweather/M.O are showing nothing. Either it has zero precipitation or it'll intensify as it crosses the Irish sea and hits land? We can only hope!

[Jackfrost]

Yeah, I think it's just a mass of cloud. Sorry to be a wet sponge!

I think it does contain precip because its started to snow here again and flakes are getting larger but radar also shows nothing so maybe its having a hard time picking it up.

[Wales123098]

Snowing nicely but absolutely nothing on the radar. How strange:s

[Bonjangle]

Ice pellets here
