morning guys, not read through the latest posts so apologies if this has been answered. i have some planned work in Cardiff, Bristol and London next week and need your outlook. On the MOD thread there is a lot of hype about this incoming northerly blast bringing cold, wintry, snowy and windy period. But I do not have enough experience to understand whats going on in the MOD thread!! Of course I know things can change as this is quite a far off event in terms of models etc. My question is to fellow Welsh people: When is this likely to be hitting South Wales area? What can we expect? How long will this last? Hoping you can give some opinions etc. Hoping the more experienced here will be able to give info in laymans terms with some charts and explanations. Thanks all and have a fab Saturday.

I had a chuckle at their comments as well on breakfast LOL

gosh all we had was rain from 1pm until i woke at 6am this morning LOL. I guess everyone are nursing 'major disappointment hangovers' due to lack of snow and the warnings made.

just falling as rain here in South East Wales.

looks borderline for south of valleys. but lets see.

yep snow falling here A470 Upper Boat.

blinking hell andy - send it our way. your being greedy now LOL

beat me to it. i got text at 10:53 but no internet to post it lol

here we go its just been issued. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=warnings&map=Warnings&zoom=5&lon=-3.50&lat=55.50&fcTime=1421712000&regionName=wl

Yes I would like to know that as well. Probably MOD thread?

hope your right.

Watching various weather forecasts on TV, online and reading online posts - in my opinion anytime from 6pm tonight until 6am Wednesday morning Wales as a whole has a chance of snow. After dark is the obvious time, but depends on how quick this front fizzles away when meeting the warm air - so could be rain or snow. Nowcasting event again. Exciting times though!

Aghh James 'Mad one' yeah hes always putting out exclusive press interviews to make some cash from his back bedroom professional weather station LOL

Evening all, albeit late! I do like those charts, lovely. Case of just nowcasting and see what happens.

OK guys just woke up after a busy night shift and weather watching. I can report during the night of only freezing rain and hail falling here. This afternoon this is a slight covering over the mountains of snow, but more importantly the rain froze in back garden. Its like an ice rink out there even now.

But our ASL is less than 100 metres so no suprise. PPN started again heavy wintry mix.

Missed us completely by just a few miles, pontypridd, cilfynydd had it and taffs well. i would say 3-4 miles either side of us.

Always strange here. Im literally looking at A470 out my back window 100 yards away. Last time we had snow and to talk about was the major snow event in 2010. Always seem to miss it. Does not help we are in a valley with two huge mountains each side of us lol

Pretty much non event here Jackfrost. Precip came around 4:20am but falling as wintry mix, mainly rain, although cars very frosty and icy still.

Rock on Jackfrost LOL. Thanks. Incidentally think traffic wales have a fault on their CCTV Cameras. Cannot view any of them.

Never mind Clair. It will work out in the end. Well no sign of ppn here...yet, but cloudy and feel is getting slightly warmer.

is that snow A470 Merthyr or an extremely hard frost? Looks like snow to me?

Tony I think my lampost has gone to find yours LOL may they live happily ever after.

hey arnie, problem we have is I now have no lampost to even watch LOL. I think looking at radar its just approaching Merthyr so I would hope its coming my way within the next 30 minutes. then i will have chat with the beast for you and put in a good word LOL. Good luck regardless or what you or I end up with.

(MODS - off topic i know but relevant to lamp post watching) yes thats what we had orange ones - but basically they have totally removed the one opposite my house. the new ones are amazingly bright but i know my neighbour is not impressed as its right outside her bedroom window and she felt like she was at the Brit Awards every night! think they ended up putting deflectors onto it for her. Also it makes our driveway pitch black now in the evening which does not bode well for security.
