It seems that what is forcast and what is on the radar are two different things. MetO going for heavy snow in Merthyr from 5pm onwards. Radar would appear to say otherwise.

Yup Ian mentioned distinct possibility of thunder snow this can arise when relatively warm SSTs meet with very cold upper air, when these clash heavy potent snowy thundery showers show up.

Sharp temperature drop here. 2 degrees in an hour. DP falling too. 3 degrees now in Machen, Caerphilly. Hopefully just the right side of marginal later.

[andymusic]

snowing finally here in pontypridd after some slushy sleety stuff earlier - seems west wales is doing well out of this so far

[dbaloo]

really hoping to see something tonight.my eldest is lamppost watching and she's only 5!!

Sleet turned to snow in Central Swansea earlier today circa, with heavy snow up here. Settled on grass and roofs and cars. Earlier sleety showers prevented any settling on pavements / roads

 

2 hrs later, still a covering on the grass, although thawing on grass especially close to house with cover on cars untouched.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Just rain here, no chance of anything sticking unless it dries out.

[Bafan]

Snowing here and sticking â„

[beatpete]

was heavy rain earlier just outside Swansea where I work...then it turned quickly to give a covering within 10 mins......you may get lucky later temp dropped to 1 C here

[SnowStorm(Jamie)]

Yup, turned to snow right down to sea level in Swansea for a time earlier, didn't last to long but still better than nothing.

That's true, having seen the BBC forecast my confidence has increased as it had snow over most of south Wales for a good 3-4 hours.

[keithlucky]

Long line of showers heading out of Ireland PATIENCE is the key lol(that what i keep telling myself)

[J10]

Latest EURO4 for what its worth

 

   

 

 

Some hefty showers in there and in the heavier showers, quite possibly snow,, while perhaps less wintry in the lighter precipitation.

 

It really comes down to now casting now.
