I think we're going to be let down.

Like I suspected earlier, it's becoming more and more fragmented at the back edge. We could be lucky and hit but the chances of 5-10CM+... ?

Am thinking the same...shame

Hopefully it stalls,which will mean that showers will catch up with the main front making the band of precipitation larger and heavier!

Thats the only way I see this producing +5-10cm

It looks like SE Wales is going to be hit with moderate-heavy snow shortly and then we'll see what happens.

It's never been forecast to move further north than central/north midlands so it might hit a brick wall shortly. Hopefully while over us.

Very light snow Swansea 400 ft !

Looks so light that maybe they are winter flies ?

Thats exactly what im thinking and its exactly what happened Friday!

No doubt the band is getting smaller, but you still get some very heavy snow under greens/yellows (netweather radar). Also the front edge of the band seems to be slightly intensifying as it crosses into Wales.

[Ginkrots]

Snowing in Newport. Between light and moderate at the moment but it's definitely not falling elegantly! The wind is blowing it all over the place.

Finally its snowing now

Love it when snow just falls veritcally, its also better for accumulation, when its being blown in the wind, snow gets stuck on the side of lampposts and houses, then its just a waste!

[Panayiotis]

Snowing here now, but horizontally!!

[Ginkrots]

Just seen 3 gritters go past in a line, could be a good sign?

Snow is heavier and with bigger flakes now. The wind is actually blowing it horizontal down the road at times lol

[Marcus_surfer]

Very light snow now

[Clare81]

Do you think it will reach mid Powys?

[welshsi]

trying to here now

[Herefordweather]

Do you think it will reach mid Powys?

Yes.

[Ginkrots]

Nothing is settling despite how heavy it is, the ground is soaking wet.

[jenko]

[Garethmob]

snowing in maes y cymmer, been at it for past 2 hours

[Panayiotis]

Settling on cars now! The band of ppm seems to be slowing down!

[Ginkrots]

There's barely a thin slushy layer on car roofs now. The flakes are too small to settle everywhere.

[willitbsunny]

lamp post watching but nothing.....

[Pamela Davies]

Think it's to wet for any snow to stick now

[Panayiotis]

Think it's to wet for any snow to stick now

It doesnt matter how wet it is, last night roads were wet, and snow was still settling on there! Woke up to an inch of snow on the roads!

[Wales123098]

If it colds enough and the snow is heavy enough snow will stick on wet ground.

People are abandoning cars in Somerset Bath the same .
