these flakes are huge

[Panayiotis]

Metoffice radar has more heavy snow for my area later on.. it then goes on further for more heavy snow Wednesday.

Snow has eventually stopped here now.

road tracks are covered within 2 minutes i think this is going to be better than fridays

[Wales123098]

Still going strong here will finish soon based on radar but I recon the other 1 over the SW is on its way here.

[Panayiotis]

Pepped up again! Reason why snow has settled faster than Friday: Bigger flakes and wind not as strong therefore snow falling vertically instead of horizontally, if Fridays event had the same conditions as now, +8inches would have been reached.

Actually think there is signs that its stalling and intensifying again. Another hour of this and we'll have a fair bit. Hope it stays around.

[Gorky101]

Well was that it? stopped in bridgend winter wonderland restored but was hoping for a longer event than 30 minutes bands have now cleared the area, my hopes now pinned on the bands approachig cornwall from France

[Jackfrost]

Some very intense showers just leaving the French coast. If they continue on their path and then reintensify as they hit South Wales after crossing the Bristol Channel in the same way that this band of snow did, then the rush hour could be a real laugh.

Still throwing it down with snow here.

Just looked at the traffic cams on travel wales. A470 from Coryton all the way up to Merthyr has snow settling on the road. Dangerous to drive on.

[Ginkrots]

Somewhere north west of Cardiff is getting a good covering according to the radar

[Jayfromcardiff]

Is the ppn from France heading here?

I think that's the main band that's not expected to hit until Wednesday AM? Not too sure though

the flakes are as big as £2 coins if not bigger

[Ginkrots]

Wow! Huge flakes in Newport, must be an inch across and you can clearly see them without looking near lamppost

[Jackfrost]

Yes, it's very intense. Around an inch down so far. Wasn't expecting this so "early" in the night.

Starting to clear here now unfortunately. Still snowing but not like it was earlier. The next band to the South looks interesting tho.

[Panayiotis]

Showers coming out of Exmoor seem to be heading right for my area! How fast did that hour go!

Its raining again

They are, but I expect them to track slightly further east.

Eased off here, not sure for how long.

Well it just picked up again very heavy. Looking at the radar the precip to the South is quickly catching up what's over us now. Could merge.

Beacons and Merthyr getting hammered

[Ginkrots]

PPN over Devon moving northwards but more to the east this time, looks like SE Wales could have 1-3 more hours of snow depending how quick it moves through

[Panayiotis]

Nae was wrong, nowcasting FTW!

From Kumquat over the other thread, describes what im going to do now...

Right - gotta hit the sack - seen the white stuff so I can go to bed happy Good luck to us all for tomorrow

[Herefordweather]

Im generally shocked to see it just south of me. Abergavenny, Merthyr & Brecon must be having some impressive falls currently. Will probably die out before it reaches here.
