WOW that is impressive,great stuff for March!

[bradymk]

Snowing half hour ago, now sunny and temps responding to the stronger march sunshine.

[TonyH]

I suppose I could have said watch on the webcam stream but it is eased now.

[Panayiotis]

Heavy snow and in some cases settling snow, with only -3/4C uppers, aint bad for March! All this fuss about having -8C uppers for snow in March is nonsense!

[Ginkrots]

Hopefully SE Wales will be hit shortly and we can join in the fun! Radar is looking good.

Steadily thawing now, 2c, next band not getting far, may miss here, must be impressive snow over the Beacons and Black Mountains currently.

Had a look earlier when walking the hills and there looked to be a decent covering up there. Mountains around me above 400m or so are white too. Just rain here from the latest band.
