Wind is now picking up at last and also fallen leaves that are still on the ground are being swept up and blown around ' as for the rain that has now stopped and seems to be the end of that band .

Oh well always next week .

Don't give up. Showers over night will most likely be snow- let's just hope they get this far inland. They look pretty intense exiting the coast of Ireland!

[A Frayed Knot]

Don't give up you say ..lol Snow everywhere except here ' the south west thread is reporting snow all over ' so whats going wrong here i say ?

[whiskers]

Snowing here in blackwood!!! It's now 1 degree and wind has increased !! Ya You!!

[hmarkd1974]

any more reports peeps? gone quiet all of a sudden lol

[A Frayed Knot]

Nothing here @hmarkd1974 just windy and dry ' rain now stopped ' typical .

[PompeyFC]

gotta hope those showers hit overnight, at least dew point, air temp etc is all favourable and ground cold so what comes down should settle

I bloody hope so as that was a NON EVENT for us down in the SE 'Cold here now mind but i can see clear sky's to the North .

[DeepSnow]

Well just had rain here but that was expected, I have more hope from overnight showers if any make it here! 3.8C so still hope the temp drops more. However as the snow didn't come to me I decided to take a drive not to far away to the Bwlch to see some snow!

[Fujita scale]

The front has gone now guys and it looks like we are going to rely on meagre showers which are very fragmented on the current radar.

Latest AROME 12z data suggests wintry showers pushing further south east across Wales, will be interesting to see if the EURO 4 does the same thing:

will be interesting to see if the charts are accurate or if it will be just like today like a damp squibb lol

[pyrotech]

In fairness the snow rain mix was forecast pretty well

Was shown as mainly rain by Meto with elevation for some snow

The cravat was it could cause a surprise

It'd didn't , it did pretty much as forecast

Now we watch the possible mayhem in South East Uk as it turns further to snow.

Mean while, here in gods country we get temperatures and dew points lowering

Ice forming and snow showers late into the evening

These will be in bands, hit and miss, so some areas getting many some getting few

But these will be very much snow and only very low areas possibly seeing sleet

 

Plus lets see if we get that easterly next week, here in SW UK we get best snow events from undercutting lows

Nice chart for next week

[chubbystuff]

Dry and cold here atm , only had rain all day but can see the snow on the mountains as you drop in to cross hands so near yet so far. Forecast is showing snow between 9 and midnight would be nice to wake up to snow.

i am not even getting excited by the prospect of an easterly next week now.  been let down too many times to get excited about anything this countries weather does.  it is just so unexciting.

 

[snefnug]

Lovely evening drive  home from  Llanfyllin to Glyn Ceiriog over the tops.  Snow on the highest heights, dusting on the hills, light snow falling and not settling.

[Marcus_surfer]

Hopefully we catch a few showers tonight. Hopefully thePembrokeshire dangler sets up later. would be nice

Oh I missed the snow   unfortunately I had to go to work in Swansea.  keeping my fingers crossed to see some white stuff later

[Welsh man]

Not seen much in the way of snow here today,  just one quick shower, I'm hoping there might be a dusting by the morning if the showers that are forecast materialize
