And so it starts!

The Raintoday radar echoes have us in the SE getting a truckload on its current course.

[Ginkrots]

It was this wet on friday AM and it settled, we just need bigger flakes and for it to slow down over us

[mikeocarroll]

Do you think it will reach mid Powys?

The main band was forecast not really to affect Mid Powys too much - but some light snow is to be expected. However the precip is perhaps further north on the radar than I expected, so we may still get some more significant amounts. Further east where you are should be slightly better than here as well.

Tonight is the one night I really don't want to see loads of snow (as we have a major booking over the next two days), so the law of the sod would suggest that we're gonna see loads of it

[CRACKPOT]

Temperature down to 0.4°C up here, starting to snow moderately, stinks like hell!!

Freezing cold out - hope this stays all night - day off tomorrow again - do me fine watching this till late!

Mild air taking a bit longer to come in the weekend as well...... interesting.

[foggybrynna]

Any snow for the south Wales valleys 2nite or 2moro

[soupsurfer7]

Snow getting heavier here now

[CLH the red dragon]

Snow will easily settle on wet ground as long as it falls quickly enough. Also, 2cm of snow per hour will overwhelm a gritted wet surface.

[TheWeatherGirl]

fine wispy flakes coming down. I think the ground is too wet from thawing to stick though ..

[worldairgroup]

nothing here A470 upper boat, tesco, pontypridd.

[willitbsunny]

Looks like it juuuuust misses me on the BBC forecast...

[SLAMMER]

can someone make it a sticky about ground too wet and snow not being able to stick, even though that isn't true?

snowing in adamsdown.

[soupsurfer7]

Yes I witnessed snow sticking to very wet ground on Friday morning, can easily happen.

Grrrr it's so heavy now but nothing is settling. We must have missed out on 1 or 2 cm by now.

[valley blue_501]

how far west will the snow move?

There is a bit of hope from the SW England thread.

Wow!!!!!

Just gone from very wet flakes that were just making slush, to huge drier flakes that have made EVERYTHING white in about 10 minutes!!

[worldairgroup]

Yes should be with you any minute now, could well be another 5-10cm, valleys really have been a sweet spot during this cold spell.

[valley blue_501]

[Daniel Miller]

Snowing here now at a, decent pace.

[Ginkrots]

Is it properly settling anywhere in S Wales?
