Wales Cymru Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013, 06z onwards

Snow getting heavier in Newport now, hasn't really stopped since 4am.. just got lighter in between.

[Bobby]

In fairness yesterday's Nae06z was predicting 35mm or 35 cm of snow for this area, so they had to give that warning out because it's better to put it out and not happen than for it to happen and not put it out.

Well the way it's coming down at the moment maybe they aren't too far off with 35cm actually

Throwing it down.

35cm might well be seen on some of the mountains.

[The Weather Dragon]

Spot on by the met office in my opinion. The red warning was justified because the potential was there.

[Wales123098]

It's actually probably the heaviest it's been all day right now.

[mickeyflyn]

snowing again and quite heavy here in newport .!

[Wales123098]

Bit of a blizzard outside again huge flakes

[Buriedundersnow]

[welshwizard]

It's pretty epic right now. Netweather extra shows the snow intensifying rapidly

[dbaloo]

its been a great day here so far!snowman and sledging this afternoon!

[snowy36]

Cleaned path early now within 10/15mins the path's got 1or2 cm on it, i think that was the heavest snow we've had.

Any other sad o's like me thats gone right through the night, still going strong.

Nice to see possibilities of more snow to come normally we get one off events ,Sunday /Monday the looks good for round2 when a LP develops over France and runs N west across the UK,so more opportunities coming up.

The front has most definitely stalled so I'd be expecting snow for SE Wales for at least the next 2 hours, perhaps longer.

Almost stalled in the south but not quite from looking at the animation of satellite imagery:

However, notice that it's starting to slowly pivot around Northern Ireland as forecast.

[whiskers]

here's some piccies from the middle of the red zone so far

edit - and it's snowing again - just won't give up - think i knew this was gonna happen two weeks ago - i must be a medium - naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - i'm a large! lol

Yes. The Bristol Channel looks to throw some more the way of SE Wales.

while looking at the sat have you seen this line running through the channel where clouds are bubbling up it looks awsome on the animation

[Wales123098]

If it carries on at this intensity it's going to be a good few more inches to come here. Cleaned snow off car window and it's already covered again

Caerphilly castle at 6:30 am

Looks like the front has finally stalled in a line from Blackpool- Manchester - Nottingham down to London. is it forecast to sink back south-west ?

Stopped in Swansea now - melting already - temp 1 degree. Will it last until this evening ?
