Seeing sleet on the radar for over the Beacons. Any reports from a bit of height?

Decent covering in Brynmawr. Just driven from Newport and was worried about the roads so I drive abergavenny then up the rock way. Nothing till half way up then sketchy as heck. Good 4 inches here.

Snowed last night at pretty much all day in Brynmawr but only a dusting. Snow was very fine. Yet only a mile away in Beaufort they have a few inches. We were just on the right side of marginal at 369m asl.

Been quiet in here today. Just back from work in Newport. Its - 2 there, - 7.4 here. Ice everywhere. Still pretty white up here, not much melt.

One of those occasions where altitude didn't really matter. We got about 3 inches in Brynmawr, same as most places. It snowed from 4pm yesterday and was heavy at times, but the flakes were so small. Snow is very dry and blowy. All schools in Blaenau Gwent are closed today.

This has been a decent event here, yes very patchy in places, a few miles away there is nothing but I've managed to measure 3.5cm on the grass which is a lot better than we did last year!

Evening All
well it's certainly looking like South, East and Mid Wales are going to get some pretty decent coverage tomorrow.
Favoured spots are as always elevation and exposure to the SE.
Heads of the Valleys look to be in the firing line as they were for our last snowfalls in March.
If I was a betting man I would say Brynmawr is my favoured location for the biggest totals, closely followed by Ebbw Vale and Tredegar
Here in Aberdare I'm expecting a decent cover but with some protection from the East I don't expect more than 5-10cms max here
We shall see. T minus 14 hours
As I live in Brynmawr, that's music to my ears lol. Good luck tomorrow
