My bedroom overlooks the Bristol channel from magor over to portishead..... the lights from avonmouth and portishead are now dissappearing and the channel getting very grey..... must be a good sighn

[bradymk]

I am jealous of all the population of Bath who are currently in my opinion, perfectly place for some heavy snow tonight.

[Ginkrots]

Has the netweather radar messed up or is the PPN losing intensity/breaking up near the back edge :o

[keithlucky]

Interesting, is this just on there NWP generated forecasts or by text? Haven't watched latest BBC Forecasts so will have a look but western extent very much open to question. I will be refreshing my radar hoping for it to reach you and then once it has reached you, i hope it continues its journey west

Projected movement on the met reach Cardiff at around 7 pm Swansea 9pm there until tomorrow pretty light by then.

This is the most recent radar picture. Still looking good for SE wales in particular.

hmmm we will see, a radar watch situation for sure. NMM is way off on meteociel, NAE has been poor and the BBC and Metoffice forecast has been changing constantly.

Unrhyw un yn rhagweld y bydd ychydig o eira gyda ni fan hyn mor bell a gweder Abertawe/Llanelli i'r Gorllewin? Dim yn hapus bod y dwyreinwyr baris yn cael yr eira ma o hyd.

Anybody forsee a little snow as far west as say Llanelli/Swansea this evening? Not happy about all you greedy south easteners having the monopoly on snow all the time!

[Bafan]

Just started to lightly snow here :-D

[Ginkrots]

PPN seems to be edging further northwards than westwards compared to earlier?

Here is a couple of temps to show the difference on a very small scale

Cardiff Barrage 1700hrs temp 1.3 dewpoint 0.2

Bute Park 1700hrs temp 0.7 dewpoint -0.7

Distance as the crow flies about 1.25 miles

[alijoe]

yuk the smell coming across the channel from that french gas leak is disgusting, just hope it blows the snow over to me to and not just the smell lol.

[Gorky101]

no access to pictures just a phone what is it looking like for Bridgend tonight, just a rough idea would be of help Many thanks

[Jayne aka Pembsgal]

I'm in Milford haven at the moment and its very wet sleety stuff here!

[Ginkrots]

I can smell the gas in Newport too, crazy how far it's travelled.

Cytuno'n llwyr! / Agree totally!

[dbaloo]

just started snowing here.dont know if its just a shower tho

[alijoe]

just started to sleet here in magor......bring it on.

[bradymk]

Snow stopped here in Hwest now, had a good long heavy band of snow but cleared through now. Im watching precipitation by Swansea and to the south of Swansea developing in the last 15 minutes with the narrow precip band expanding. Main band slowly moving NW into south east wales but it may be a long wait yet before you see anything noteworthy. Precip band moving quickest Newport and East of Newport currently

I think we're going to be let down.

Like I suspected earlier, it's becoming more and more fragmented at the back edge. We could be lucky and hit but the chances of 5-10CM+... ?
