3.1C here in Upper Cwmbran and still dry. It's knife edge whether we get rain or snow here. Nowcasting 

[CLH the red dragon]

haha typical! Bloody urban heat island, although probably minimal in Cardiff, it is still probably making a difference as you say between rain/snow. Areas around cardiff slightly higher too which helps, plus the wind is from the south east and the city centre is closer to the estuary. May have to take a drive at lunch!

Ps. It is not actually doing anything in cardiff mind, main precipitation looks slightly further west

 Yeah, it's stopped here again now. Sky does look "full of it" mind. I'm quite excited. I have snow tyres on the bike and am itching to see if they work!

[Stevetynant]

Nothing down here in Newport but temperature hovering just above 2C at home

[hmarkd]

anyone in or around caerphilly on here today?

[Jayfromcardiff]

Sky looks full of snow here, its possible they've underestimated the cold air? Hope so anyway!

I was inside and thought it was raining but come outside now and it's actually still bone dry here, hasn't rained or snowed so it may well of snowed here too if we had some of the main precipitation. Hopefully you'll have plenty more opportunities to to try the tyres over the next few weeks!

Stopped here again still ice around in the street in puddles feels colder again gone dark

Situation in Pembrokeshire is rain around Haverfordwest, currently 2c.

Colder inland around 0c with a wintry mix at height.

[hmarkd]

[whiskers]

Snowing lightly yay!

looks borderline for south of valleys. but lets see.

I would say you are just a bit too far west - you would be more into the mild sector as it pushes in.

 

If it is moving further South than predicted there is the chance the colder air could also be further South - might be a few surprises later on tonight.

 

It was snowing with me in Tongwynlais earlier but now drizzle.

Hi Andy - I didn't think they had forecast much in the way of precipitation because the front was fragmenting as it came in - or have they updated the amounts of PPN around?

[ChrisGregory]

Snow quite heavily here but not sticking, according to BBC weather app turning to rain late tonight though

I am thinking this is proving difficult to forecast - some say rain tonight, some are showing snow then perhaps turning to rain by morning - some not! I think the apps being automated are not necessarily the most accurate thing in the world!
