[The Post-modern Winter]

Just took the dogs for a walk on the land - met with some beefy snow showers. Nice wintry picture up here.

Good work TonyH. A sound objective assessment of the synoptics. Brave too!

Is the NAE (or whatever its called now) in range for Tuesday yet? May have to take a quick peek.

 

EURO4 goes out 48hrs, and the latest run as at 6am this morning, goes to 6am Tuesday.

 

Even at this stage, precipitation looks rather patchy.

 

 

The next update will be circa 5pm-6pm, and this will take us up to noon Tuesday.

I wish! However, we do have a sniff this week. Better chance you up the valley than us lot below Caerphilly.

Some patchy sleet/snow moving SE now.

[foggybrynna]

BBC weather said no snow for south Wales what you guys think

Yes J1, spotted, sparse moisture although the thing looks to be stalling. DPs inland ok, but at present certainly very marginal for most.

Any snow is nice to see, could be our only chance here in Cardiff.

[chubbystuff]

[Blackjack]

Clouds look threatening. Too warm here though. Blorenge maybe getting some though.

Agree with that and January is bucking the trend somewhat in recent years.

I always encourage people to not take note of the computer generated 5 day forecasts on the BBC/ MO websites, but they've just been update. Light snow for Newport Tuesday? Could it still be a possibility?

Same with Cardiff lol, wonder what Derek has to say about this considering he said rain for Cardiff earlier.

He'll still say rain Not getting my hopes up whatsoever, everytime I do things get downgraded!

Well the way the models are trending the snow risk is increasing! ....I think anyway lol.

Tuesday front approaches Wednesday stalls

[gareth moo]

Interesting fax chart takes 14hrs for the front to move to 100miles west to east

It'a certainly a 'staller'. Temperatures are looking marginal for most of the principality. I think that PPN may be at a premium however. Euro4 has the front smashed to pieces by the time it hits our shores. Should make for decent radar watching Tuesday afternoon and evening though!

 

[valley blue_501]

Derek has us down for Rain on Tuesday up here in the mountains. (Blaenavon 350m asl)lol I would think it needs to warm up a fair bit for that to happen.... But u never know. Lovely day here today but bitterly cold especially in the wind. Had some fine snow falling about 60 mins ago.
