[freeze for all]

Another load of rubbish here!! Give me a cold spell from a straight Northerly or North East any day of the week to a North West.

[Cwmbran Eira]

another damp chilly spell here

covering over 200m

 

 

[andymusic]

blizzard conditions here right now

[Jayne aka Pembsgal]

Crisp, cold and dry in Kilgetty, no snow!

[DeepSnow]

It looks as if the rain may have all frozen as soon as its hitting a surface! Seen a lot of people on facebook saying Bridgend is an ice rink!

Shame it's not cold enough for snow here then! 3.7c and the ice is thawing!

edit:- after a little break it's snowing again - streamer now poised over the house lol

Not sure its going to be cold enough on Monday looking at the charts we may just miss out again but then again not convinced the models have it right either.

[Jayne aka Pembsgal]

Pembrokeshire has missed out totally I think. It's bitterly cold but pretty blue skies still.

[DeepSnow]

its snowing! wooo

I think my thermometer may be out, as its currently saying 6.3C yet its sleet/ almost complete snow at times coming down?

Cardiff did too. There was a little sleety rain after midnight and that was our lot.

I have the no snow blues today.

[dragonfalls]

What the chances of snow in this area on Monday as its cold though the weekend and cold nights thought the minus 5 surface was over us last night feels colder now thàn last night?

[Carl46Wrexham]

Rain. This spell is a pile of toss.

I'm inclined to agree. And our forecast day of heavy snow on Monday has been replaced by heavy rain.

Warm influence off the Irish Sea. You may have done better if it had hit you in the evening. Mid Wales and the valleys could do really well of the area of PPN moving down on more of a northerly wind. 

I'm pinning my hopes on February. Nice bit of stratospheric warming will hopefully produce a better hemespheric pattern, and give us something a bit more east of northerly!

You may be right, but it used to be the case that NW'ly airstreams in winter would deliver copious amounts of snow. For some reason, in the past couple of years this has changed. 

[dragonfalls]

I know Cardiff is low ground but the 1980s to mid 90s were really good falls and drifts even 2009 is pretty good the last couple of years have been rubbish even frost are rare these days ..

[RhysWales]

Unfortunately the rain/ sleet/ snow over north Wales is heading into the midlands, so not much but clear spells for us down south tonight. The chilliest night for quite a few years I'm sure! Will be good to see how low it goes!

Don't think people should give up on the possibility of frontal snow still on Monday, even to lower levels. The models have pushed things back west again this afternoon. Hopefully we get a sniff of something before the milder air returns (probably midweek.)

I would bank this:

 

[Carl46Wrexham]

More than half an inch of rain has fallen here. Surface water flooding on the roads again. Kick this cold spell into touch...useless.

[DeepSnow]

Just looked at the South West/Central thread, is there anything being predicted/shown for over the weekend or is it going to be dry for Wales?
