Can't see much snow unless you live very high up or on a mountain.

Matt on National weather looks as though Wales in snow line from 3-4am Tuesday morning. Then the Wales weather comes on - it's 7°C and obviously rain.

This winter is promising a few days out then not delivering - now that is crap. Gives you hope and then consistently crushes it.

Nothing wrong with that no - but then you get them showing charts with rain on!

They tend to contradict themselves all the time. The chart above shows snow over Cardiff yet the automated forecast shows heavy rain and 5c.

Going to set my weather station up later and we'll see if it snows.

think it's because it's a bit this term "knife edge" again - cold uppers in front of the front - cold uppers behind it - and not a lot of slightly milder air with it - plus the cold uppers catch up with the front too - so there could very well be a lot of snow in there

Could be yet another lamppost watching late night! That's what I hate - they cover all angles - forecast rain, hail snow, sunny spells , cloudy and windy at times - job done - they have got the weather correct - somewhere!

Forecast!

If they forecast rain they always get it right but if there's a chance of snow they'll cover their butts.

 

Mind you, that was a good forecast and he mentioned snow coming down to fairly low levels and could be problematic.

For once we could have a good nationwide event mate. Not getting too excited though, I expect new warnings to be added this morning. 

[PompeyFC]

Sadly I think it will be rain from experience at lower levels. Anywhere North of Llanharan will get it I reckon

pop up yo penycoedcae with ya 4x4 - might be the only way you'll get up here

[bradymk]

Can’t see any snow tomorrow for low levels of Wales. Metoffice mention it nowhere in their forecast? Euro4 shows nothing as does Arpege. 

Could be a developing situation but hoping to be surprised

You have to laugh. 

I have to say the new BBC graphics are seriously misleading. Countyfile last night had snow across most of Wales for Tuesday morning but Schafernaker said possible hill snow.
