I can see the Blorenge in Blaenavon from my front door and it looks like it's turned to snow up there, here in Abergavenny it's rain.

Just driven over the top of Maerdy Mountain from Aberdare and moderate setting snow down to around 200m here now. Sleet in Aberdare town. 

Cold air now cutting in under the rain band so maybe a few surprises thus afternoon, esp with a little height. 

My interest lies in later tonight and early tomorrow once this system clears and we have the potential for some heavier snow showers down to sea level (although setting snow would be transient) 

I think anywhere above 100-150m could well see a couple of inches by morning, coupled with some rather nasty road conditions, esp on untreated surfaces

Just changed my profile (as not been on here for years) and now live in Cwmbach, Aberdare.

 

My wife informs me that we have falling snow at home which I'm guessing is around 150m asl 

I would certainly think there would now be snow falling in Nelson at around 200m, as for Ystrad maybe but not setting yet.

Turning white now up at Dowlais Top, Merthyr on the cams

still waiting here patiently for it to turn - surrounded though with reports from Nelson and Aberdare having snow - so it can't be far away

The precip is starting to pivot and head se now fizzling out as it goes colder air starting to tuck in now behind temp here has dropped from 4.5 an hour ago down to 3.0 now. Let's hope the showers that follow are of a more wintery flavour to them
