You couldn’t really have timed this event any better
Frozen ground, sub zero temps and dew points and a very active front
Perfect!!!

I think for many this is the best snow since 2018. Certainly is here in Aberdare

I said yesterday I was hoping for 1-3” here in Aberdare. Looking on track to get that as it’s not long started and already it’s covered everything

Reminds me of that powdery snow in March 2018 here.
Great to see -
Just started here in the S Wales Valleys. Fine powdery snow instantly covering everything. Great to see
Reports of snow in Neath and Port Talbot both at sea level
The midlands should do v well indeed and the band is way bigger than I anticipated too

Does that mean it'll pass quicker?
Starting to pivot so where this does so will receive a pasting
Prob somewhere in S Midlands I would say would be sweet spot later but who Knows
Let’s hope it pivots over the Valleys

Thank you to everyone for the temps and dew points
Looks like it’s all pretty favourable
What is the Dam right now 525? Or less?

What are the air temps and DP’s around the south and south east parts of Wales?

Do you think it'll arrive earlier than expected? These models have moved the area of snow around alot. I'll just keep checking the radar.
As we all know Jay these situations are SO fluid
It’s just a case of radar watching
I think you’ll get some where you are in N Cardiff and further N up the Valleys should fair well
Im hoping here in Aberdare we get 1-3”

There will definitely be some surprises
All I want is enough to take my 3 year old up Rhigos mountain and get pulled around in his sledge
Ive managed to create a 3.5 year old crazy snow fan already
He’s going to be so upset if daddy’s wrong

I’m pretty bullish on tomorrow’s snow for the SE of Wales
Looking at ALL the models the valleys/heads of the valleys seem to do pretty well
We also have the potential of the snow clearing early morning and then pivoting back over us
Somewhere imo could end up with 4-6 hours of pretty decent snowfall
As always though radar watching will be the best tool come morning

Looks like the H ot V area will do well. Brynmawr to Hirwaun
I’m expecting 1-3” here in Aberdare
.....and coming through at the perfect time of day too
There will be quite big variations in depths I’m sure and a few surprises and possibly disappointments
But for the vast majority of S Wales this is our best opportunity of the winter so far to make a snow man
