Wales (Cymru) Regional Discussion 11th March 2013

[soupsurfer7]

Light snow showers on and off in Aber today, although places sheltered from the esaterly breeze actually feel quite warm in the sun.

[andymusic]

snow's back - convective showers getting going again and beefing up

[Wales123098]

Gone very dark here now.

[Snowmadsam]

snow in Carmarthen and Login

[RhysWales]

Been snowing consistently for most of the afternoon in Newport. The type of snow that has spurts of heavier stuff, but even if continuous for 48 hours, still wouldn't settle. One thin covering would make this long winter for me

[Wales123098]

Coming down good now. Heaviest burst all day

[RhysWales]

Yup, heavy here too, starting to settle. If only it were to stay like this for a few hours...

[andymusic]

heavier snow here now with larger flakes

[Wales123098]

Very heavy snow starting to settle

Not starting to settle it is settling!

[Cwmbran Eira]

Same here. It's been off and on for a few hours but now heavier and prolonged.

[Ginkrots]

Fluffy big flakes in Newport. nothing has settled all afternoon but nice to see something at least.

[RhysWales]

Is it me, or whatever seems to be coming down from Gloucestershire/ Herefordshire seems to be pepping up all the time? Guessing its convection, and will die out by the evening?

[DeepSnow]

Just had some very light snow start in Bridgend!

[Wales123098]

Just getting heavier and heavier

[joo]

It's settling a bit here in Caerphilly.

I'm assuming it's just a little shower and I won't need to move my car to the end of my drive? My drive is steep and we like to stick the cars at the bottom when there's to be a bit of snow, as we can get a bit of speed up if we start sliding on it and there's a car opposite (that we have slid into once already)

[Ginkrots]

Seems SE Wales has a nice blob of heavier precipitation for a while !!

[benb]

Well what d'y'know! Even a few snow flakes blowing around in the wind in Tenby!

Crazy cold spell... just wish it had started 6 weeks earlier, for some real extremes (for this location, anyway). I appreciate it has been extreme, late March or not, elsewhere.

Next winter, I'll be hoping for a stratospheric warming event in Oct/Nov and the peak cold synoptics to arrive a few weeks earlier than this winter.

[CardiffStorm]

Is the snow settling anywhere?

Here in Cardiff it's not settling at all.

[keithlucky]

Snowing in Swansea better than nothing ,pity it wont come to much.

[Ginkrots]

Early signs of settling in the usual spots here. Meaning it should be settling higher up in the valleys. Shame it won't last.

[andymusic]

Really coming down now - the mountains of Wales are really pepping this more organised band of snow

was keepin an eye on this lot while it was over gloucester way - it's really pepped up since then

beginning to take a hold on the grass - as it's been so dry anyway - senghenydd mountain was waiting for this - as it still had snow from a few days ago on it

[Jayfromcardiff]

Heavy snow here

[DeepSnow]

Coming down heavier now

[RhysWales]

Feels like we've just won £10 on the lottery the way these showers have turned into a little band of snow.

Is the snow settling anywhere?

Here in Cardiff it's not settling at all.

Yes on cars and grass in Talbot Green
