Like I'm going to believe some pixels on the internet. We all know that people lie when it comes to snow amounts - it's the meteorological equivalent of penis size. Add on a few inches or shave the topiary for an optical gain.

lol very good

[Carl46Wrexham]

Had enough of the snow?

Want to look at green grass and the odd half melted icy puddle?

Then come to Wrexham...the snow desert of North Wales and all your dreams will be made a reality!

<_<

Yep- that's the good stuff!

I wonder if the hook of precipitation is where that low is forming. If it is, it's further west than was progged...

Just speculation. Any thoughts?

[Marcus_surfer]

Heavy rain or blizzard at fishguard now!

It's moving generally in this direction yes.

[impster]

Seems to be easing off a little here nr Aberystwyth - cloud is retreating to the west (leaving a blue sky in it's wake!), but the snow is falling from the west.

[swales]

Currently in a sunshine gap

Expecting a few small showers.. not sure if any more significant falls expected for me? Benb what you think?

Here is a picture of early this morning:

Sucks doesnt it? Especially when you get the media ramming the fact that such and such a place has been buried under a bloody foot of snow etc...

To be honest I reckon the breakdown (when it comes) will deliver more in the way of snow (albeit short-lived) than this "cold spell" has.

Just missed me that flurry did

[A_T]

Still no persistent snow in NE Wales. Looks like it won't get here until after dark now.

cloud coming in here snowing here as well snowflakes small but the occasional big one just looked over the preseli hills with telescope boy oh boy snow looks fantastic can't wait and it's coming my way lets just say the clouds are engulfing me.

[soupsurfer7]

I wish these showers would start to come inland a bit

[impster]

Seems to be stronger just at or just off the coast i think.

Apparently no sign of any snow at home in Machynlleth...

Looks like I'm here 'til 5 then.

Don't worry too much about the forecast- in a situation like this, they're out of date by the time you see them.

Log on to the 'raintoday' radar and watch where the snow is and the direction in which it's heading.

IMO the precipitation is being pulled by in to S Wales by a developing circulation.

I still think we're (SW Wales) in for several hours of heavy snow.

[soupsurfer7]

There's a lot of fog coming here now :S

[Jayfromcardiff]

Cardiff set to miss the snow now, ahh well like always crap.

I think it's looking good, real good in fact.

I really can't see any reason why all that precipitation isn't going to head this way.

[whiskers]

currently sun shining here in blackwood, there is a new press release from the met office with pics thats right i could a couple of centimeters!
