5cm settled here over night, best snowfall we’ve had in 7 years.

Most of the snow has been washed away here in Betws y coed too, but to be expected I suppose when we are only 20m ASL. Are you hopeful that tonight/tomorrow morning will deliver anything for us Andy?

Snowing heavy here for about an hour and it’s stuck. Kids school closed.

Has been snowing since 10am approx today and nothing has stuck

Has been snowing lightly here for a few hours, nothing settling so far. Will be interesting to see what happens here over the next couple of days, seeing conflicting forecasts for low level north wales, some forecasts stating it will mainly be rain/sleet for lower levels, fingers crossed for snow though.

Really appreciate your explanation, makes sense thanks. My garden backs onto the gwydir forest (one of the large forests in north wales) and a lot of trees went down during Storm Arwen (I’ve never seen so many fallen trees in my life time) , I was told by snowdonia park wardens and local tree surgeons this was due to the unusual direction of the wind rather than the actual strength, apparently it hit the trees at their weak point. I plan to pin the trampoline down tomorrow just incase and move the furniture into the shed.

Gusts of 81mph recorded in my local weather station, lights have been flickering, letter box blowing in but yet garden furniture still in situ, need to pin down the trampoline tomorrow. In this neck of the woods the direction of the wind seems to be a major factor, so many trees were uprooted by storm arwen because the direction of the wind was different to normal - so I’m told by snowdonia park workers and tree surgeons. I’m enjoying the prospect of a major weather event by all means but have no clue what it actually means for us in North Wales, is this event being made a fuss of because it’s unusual for SW England? I was born in 1990 so have not experienced many extreme weather events but was very lucky to experience thunder snow in 2018, one of the most amazing experiences.

I live in North Wales, my local weather station (5 miles up the road) has recorded gusts of up to 81mph this evening from Storm Dudley, my lights have been flickering, it’s been howling and my letter box has blown in a couple of time yet the unstrapped trampoline and garden furniture are still in situ in my garden, am I missing something when people say 60mph winds are life threatening or is North wales just used to this type of weather and have created properties etc to withstand this type of weather, garden’s being bigger so moving furniture being less of an issue etc? I’m new to meteorology especially storms so please tell me if gusts are different to wind speeds etc I want to learn.

Around 9cm in Betws y coed around 30 miles away. Be careful.

Is there still a chance that my area will do quite well tomorrow?

How it looking for North wales?

Just come home from the pub Frozen snow 5cm 50m asl NW Wales

Thunder snow in Betws y coed NW wales

Actually started to snow now

Just wanted to reassure re south that we have not had anything much yet either and that the radar is quite misleading ? Hopefully some heavier PPN will follow later on this evening.
