Wales - Weather Chat

[Cymro]

I think quite a few places above 100m will see some snow this evening/overnight.

I do agree with this, not just cause I'm 100m up! but because of the temperatures that are being recorded are already lower than predicted....

[Blackjack]

Temps seem to be dropping off over Ireland in the last hour or so.

 

Possibility of some snow for us on higher ground this evening as that band of ppn moves through?

Is the cold still coming next week as the models have changed again looking like more north event than south

don't worry it'll be cold and wintry next week and over the weekend and today

[Blackjack]

Frequent and heavy hail showers here in Merthyr

[Ian Price]

cloudy here now in Bangor. Rain not too far away I think.

Let's hope we see some of the white stuff this next week or so.

[Marcus_surfer]

Heavy rain, hail and sleet showers here with the very strong winds continuing

[Ian Price]

Hope so!

A re run of the snow we had in 2012 would be good!

Would be nice to get some north channel steamers off the N / NW wind, and any frontal snow would be ideal!

No point at this stage, it's way to far out to even draw a rough line between rain/snow

Fair enough Just like imagining being buried under a foot of snow even if it isn't going to happen. Good job I'm planning on moving to Canada in the next few years

[freeze for all]

A few on the Mod threads saying a chance of snow Saturday night for some in Wales

[soupsurfer7]

There's a good analysis here from the BBC about what's happening early next week http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/30824978?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_weather&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=news_central

 

Notice how they mention the front coming off the Atlantic probably won't have enough 'energy' to displace the cold air and allow mild air through.

[marclt]

Advice here from Carmarthenshire Council...

Haw haw haw. References also being made in the MOD thread to Wales doing particularly well.

 

I really do feel bad for our long-suffering Southwestern friends, though. Perhaps we should share some of our (potential) snow with them?
