Blowing an absolute hoolie in Tenby right now. Dread to think what’s happening on the campsites in the area: would have thought there will be a lot of folks with trashed tents sleeping in their cars...
Feels like a proper winter storm.

2.5c in Tenby now and heavy sleet. Looks like a lot of precip to come. With the cold air digging back in and some evap cooling this could turn out alright...
Sent home from school at 1.30pm... Pembs CC call... let's see if it was the right one.
-
Not holding out much hope for SW coastal areas... already 4c in Milford/Tenby/Angle (Met O)... -7c in mid-Wales.
Temp forecast to drop later in day as the cold air kicks back in but doubt it'll be enough for any laying snow in this area. I'll be very happy just to see some of the white stuff falling from the sky.
Looks like central southern Wales should do quite well out of this.
Good luck all.

Have a look on radar big streamer from Dorset to France some one going to get a pasting.
Probably The Valleys. Again.
Actually, looks like that could be the stuff for SW England.

A dusting here, more than we had during emma anyway. The heavier stuff looks way futher north than forecast with SW england missing out so far
Yes- very different to Meto predictive radar; much more widespread and sig. further north.
-
Moderate settling snow here.
Nothing for years then two snow events in a couple of weeks: incredible!
-
Just driven through moderate snow shower between New Hedges-Kilgetty-Templeton... 2.5c there. Awesome!
Few flakes blowing around in the wind in Tenby, bit of rain too. Bit warmer down by the sea, 3.5c here.

hirlam overestimate ppn euro4 the oppersit
Spot on in this location last time... when many models showed a sig. reduction in precipitation for SW Wales, HIRLAM was correct in showing significant and prolonged snowfall. GFS precip also very accurate from a couple of days out.
Now the EURO4, that was miles out for here!
-
HIRLAM model pretty keen on bringing some snow across S Wales on both Sat and Sunday...

Found this model to be very accurate for this location a couple of weeks ago...
Crazy weather for the time of year...
Spring is going to feel amazing when/if it ever arrives!

Snowing at Rosebush in The Preselis this afternoon. Sleet/wet snow Kilgetty just now.
2.5c and raining in Tenby.
Weird up The Preselis: mainly green apart from 5/6ft drifts down every hedge!

My daughters go to school in Crymych, it isn't very often (as in never LOL) they can tell their friends from up your way we had more snow than them, we had 12cm level snow on Thursday evening.
Yes- Tenby a sweet-spot for snow!
Not often you can say you went sledging on The Green, waded through snow drifts on Lower Frog Street and skied through the fields to New Hedges!
Now roll-on spring proper.

Means the slightly milder air is encroaching....
Guess so.
Still at/below freezing here... the icicles have stopped dripping!
-
Hammering it down in Tenby, again... Proper big, old-fashioned flakes, too!

Moderate snow now in Tenby. That stuff to the south of Pembs has backed eastwards and seems to be looking to link with the precip over The Valleys.
It's just sticking straight to the coating of ice everything is still under!
Awesome SPRING weather!
-
Light snow again in Tenby.
That heavier precip south of Pembrokeshire may be developing/spreading eastward?
-
Tenby Harbour this morning.

Couple from the garden. Got some ace ones of drifts in Tenby town but won’t let me load!
-
Absolutely lethal out- every surface covered with freezing rain and the snow is all crusty!

For most of Western Wales this will go down as the biggest disappointment snowise ever! Very frustrating and unfair!
Don't count S Pembs in that- been awesome here.

The radar has been weird today, I am in Bridgend and we have been showing up as very little snow all day on the radar and I have just got back from walking the dog (stopped here) and there is a good 3-4 inches of snow. I wonder if the radar perceives the powder snow different to the traditional Brit wet sticky snow?
I was thinking the same thing: we've had consistent heavy snow since 4 o'clock but the radar has had it as the same light stuff that fell Tuesday morning.

Waw Pembroke, Milford Haven and the west of Pembs taking a hammering according to the radar. More red echoes there than over Cardiff and SE Wales!!
Never seen the like out here... really it's almost laughable.

I think one of the big stories tomorrow will be the amount of snow in Pembrokeshire. The last time there was snow like this here was 40 odd years ago. Tenby has been pummelled and we never get snow here!! The out lying areas will have taken a pasting.
And now it's raining! Hope it's the freezing variety!
Anyone know why pictures from my I-phone won't upload??
