Remaining breezy with further blustery showers. These becoming increasingly wintry even to lower levels, bringing an ice risk. Some snow accumulations are likely over higher ground. Minimum Temperature 0C.

Monday:

Windy with possible gales in exposure. Sunny spells and further wintry showers, heavy at times with a local thunder risk. Further snow accumulations over hills, possibly to lower levels too. Maximum Temperature 8C.

Looks like winter last horrrah Lol.

The Met Office have generally been spot on this winter so I'd just follow their warning maps. Mid and north Wales high ground above 200m I'd say for settling snow but possibly a bit to lower levels. South Wales probably just sleet or hail.

[Snowyowl9]

Not cold enough today uppers,but still had hail shower earlier now rain and sleet 3.9c

[Carl46Wrexham]

Rain - temp 4.4c and falling. Down from 7.2c before the rain arrived.

Edit : 4.0c

Met Office Forecast

Tonight:

Remaining breezy with further blustery showers. These becoming increasingly wintry even to lower levels, bringing an ice risk. Some snow accumulations are likely over higher ground. Minimum Temperature 0C.

Monday:

Windy with possible gales in exposure. Sunny spells and further wintry showers, heavy at times with a local thunder risk. Further snow accumulations over hills, possibly to lower levels too. Maximum Temperature 8C.

 

--------------------------------

I think this will follow the format of this "winter" so far, so you are likely to be correct that settling snow will be (very) limited. But some falling snow is likely/possible pretty much anywhere in amongst more general wintry showers.

[Snowyowl9]

Big flakes of snow now with the sleet,quite a horrible afternoon actually for the first day of spring 2.7c

[Carl46Wrexham]

Half melted big flakes mixed in with the heavier bursts of rain. Yuk! 3.6c

[andymusic]

front arrived - rain at first - has got progressively more wiintry with snow in it

[A-Dizzle]

Heavy Sleet here at the minute

[kar999]

Heavy wet snow showers earlier this morning. Not sticking at 200m but giving the Moelwyns a good covering.

[snefnug]

Nice to see it chucking down with snow on meteorological first day of spring :)

[kar999]

Cnicht & Moelwyns between the showers.




And Snowdon in the distance.

[andymusic]

not sure we had a great deal from yesterday's warning but we have another one for today into tomorrow now - which could have more sting

 

Yellow Warning of Snow and Ice for Wales

Yellow Warning of Snow and Ice for Wales : Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey, Neath Port Talbot, Powys, Wrexham, Monmouthshire, Rhonnda Cynon Taff & Merthyr Tydfil valid from 1800 Mon 02 Mar to 1000 Tue 03 Mar

Another reminder from me of what winter is capable of around here when the perfect conditions align:

 

 

January 1982, Nelson. It has to be at least 60-70cm deep in the second-to-last pic, judging by its depth compared to the windows.

 

This picture from nearby Treharris seems to show even greater depth, but I'm not sure if this is 1963 or 82. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable about cars knows the answer.

 

 

Now, let's look forward to a potentially warm, sunny Spring and whatever Summer brings, it'll nice to see the lush, verdant foliage again, and let's hope next winter is drastically different to the one currently in its death throes.

Snow coming out of the showers in Ireland interesting night Ahead.Heavy sleet falling now Showers will more turn to snow as night moves on.

[andymusic]

 

some beefy looking showers about to hit south wales now

 

lovely looking streamer setting up for the beacons - should be a few inches of snow there tonight

Edited March 3, 2015 by andymusic

[Stevetynant]

Well a bit of a covering this morning on the grass and the snow on the car was baked on quite hard so must have been a sustained period of clear skies after the fall - when I went to bed about midnight it was heavy sleety rain so guessing this was early hours of the morning.

 

Bring on Spring now enough of sleet and slush for one winter.

[lindy2222]

Weve got 2 inches of snow...............xmas card again.....................brynmawr.............
