Slighty heavier snow moving across Wales now (green rather than blue) could give a dusting in places.

Snowing here in the Moelwyns. Was white over here at 6am but turned to rain/sleet at lower levels. Snow line looks to be about 250m

Yellow warning for strong winds issued

Issued at: 10:43 on Sun 12 Feb 2017

Valid from: 03:00 on Mon 13 Feb 2017

Valid to: 22:00 on Mon 13 Feb 2017

Very strong and gusty easterly winds are expected to affect parts of west Wales on Monday. Gusts to 50 to 60 mph will affect some locations, with possible localised gusts of 70 to 75 mph to the west of mountains. Some disruption to travel, both road and ferries, seems likely.

While wind gusts of 60 to 75 mph quite often occur across west Wales, the unusual wind direction may add to impacts. This is the type of situation where gusts will vary markedly between nearby places, and through the day.

Covers: Conwy, Isle of Anglesey, Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Powys

I can vouch for it blowing a hoolie here. Gusting to 40 mph. The wind chill is vicious.

we've had snow overnight here in ponty folks - only a tad - but a tad is better than nowt and it stuck to the ground and turned things and surfaces white

we have had snow up here in Aberdare too. Thought I was seeing things first of all Andy 

[JamesL]

Earlier drizzle has now turned to snow blowing in the wind. Not sure if dew points have dropped a little this afternoon in our region? 

[Snowyowl9]

Snow really pepped up over mid to north wales this afternoon.

Snowflakes now but I did think I`ll see enough for what I want.

On the snowline here.

Two hours of sleety snow showers, timed to the dog walk......  not nice.  Settling further up the valley.  Back in front of fir, good excuse for mulled cider, medicinal only obvs

[Snowyowl9]

Drizzle now with a few sleety snow grains,only thing to look forward to now then as temps drop currently 0.6c is freezing drizzle.

[John Lloyd]

Well... we have had some snow this winter, about as far south as you can get, near the airport and the coast.  It fell without settling for an hour or so on Saturday morning.

My snowy expectations have been ruinously high since growing up in the 70s on higher ground. My enjoyment of snow, and my expectations, formed during those late 70s and early 80s snow events. They were boosted by a couple of early 90s winters in the East Midlands. Then we had 2009.  But not much since. And in the lean years frustration grows. What chance of something in the next few weeks?

[snefnug]

You can tell we are in for a mildy spell when Knocker posts in the House of MOD.

[EastAnglian]

Am I right in assuming that most of Wales are dry, I have seen a few posts regarding how dry it has been. Well if water is needed we have had plenty up here today. It has been precipitating profusely since this morning! If I hear one more weather presenter or forecaster say "well at least it will be mild!" I will scream 

[Cwmbran Eira]

really felt like spring today. 1st time I felt the warmth of the sun. Felt goo ood!

 

[Jackfrost]

Here we go again. "Battleground scenario, Wales in the firing line, get the shovels ready" etc. This country's weather is enough to drive one loopy.

Although in all honesty, the Marches of 2001, 2004 and 2006 were great months here with good snowfalls. March 11/12th 2004 I remember in particular, as it was the day of the Madrid train bombings. I'd been on Netweather for over a year at that point and the mood was subdued, despite the incoming snow. Nevertheless, there was a good 20 cm here although those sort of depths seemed confined to South Wales. A classic Atlantic-low-into-cold-airmass event.

I'm driving back from Durham at 10am so will spend most of my time in the amber zone. Not looking forward to that. Hoping most of the haulage firms ground their fleet
