Met office has my area down for heavy snow at 1:00am but won't be able to  lampost watch as we have one of those silly energy saver things and it is pitch black outside my house at 1am

 

the way the showers are developing think you're gonna see something way before 1am

[marclt]

Currently 2.7c with a dew point of 0.2c...

[Matty23]

Hope so I am worse than an over excited child at Christmas when there is a chance of snow

-1.7 and Humidity is 81% ' My Weather station do not show the Dewpoint so i am very clueless here to what it is .

[Cymro]

Sleet turned to light snow but we will need intense showers to allow anything to settle!

Thanks swales and Clair_Witch , My Dewpoint is saying -4.5

Surely them showers cant be that far away now, like an impatient child when it comes to snow. Can i ask if someone with more knowledge than me whether the warning is mainly for these showers showing now or is a more organised band of snow predicted through the night?

that doesn't look organised to you - a right good clump of showers there me thinks - more coming overnight too

Good point, being greedy perhaps and nothing has happened yet, always like to know if there's more on the way

nothing wrong with being greedy - anything that falls tonight should be of the white variety and today it's had a chance to dry up too and get colder even - so should lay fairly easily too

You must of been watching and Indian version of it then ...

[Clair_Witch]

Although the outside temp is dropping my dewpoint is rising and giving me a mini panic. Every year I swear I'm not getting caught up in all this excitement and nervous waiting again, but when the time comes it's just irresistible.

I watch 2 local weather stations, one in Bute Park and the other at Cardiff Bay Barrage. I kind of live between the 2. Despite the closeness of the stations they vary by a few degrees. I never know which one I should stick to and believe.

Come on precipitation, plough down to us. Please.

 

[Cymro]

A bit worried have good altitude but theres a lot more sleet than snow in these showers :/ modification off the irish sea?

[marksiwnc]

Just had a snow shower in caernarfon
