Speaking purely from an IMBY point of view, in terms of snow this looks like being a relative non-event for Carmarthenshire, Swansea, etc. I base this on having looked at a hell of a lot of charts and projections today. I just don't feel that's it's going to be anything dramatic or exciting on the snow side. Very worryingly freezing rain looks like being a potential problem on Friday and, let's be honest, what sane person wants to see freezing rain? I've experienced it - it makes all roads and pavements extremely dangerous and readily brings down power and phone lines.

 

My son when he was little played ice hockey (and did until he retired last year both professionally and semi) he had a great time skating on the pavements, it was quite funny as there was a row of parked cars obscuring the view of people walking the other side of the road. They could hardly walk and there was him up and down the street like a lunatic with a hockey stick and a pr of gloves. It was even funnier when it started to thaw and he hit a patch of concrete. I know bad father laughing but didn't after I had to have his skates reground

That beefy snow shower looks like it has swansea right in its path. Fun rush hour!

Heavy snow in north east Swansea now.

I think need to relax a little out west. Looks better so far this evening than before. Not the 30cm in other places but still a decent covering. Pembs May actually be worst hit out west. See if Euro4 improves for the folk out west!

Look at the fax charts for all the ones over in the west of the country , it looks like u will get some of them . I cant believe u will totally miss out, perhaps not the massive amount but i think u will get some plus they wouldn't put u under a orange warning without u seeing any thing .

What time is the snow starting tomorrow mate?

For us in the east, light snow looks likely quite early in the day but main heavy snow from around 4pm I reckon. Then as we go into evening everyone looks to join in on the snow. Potential for freezing rain early hours of Friday before cold air comes south again. 

Precipitation really looks heavy in east and 45 mph winds. Could be severe

[Marcus_surfer]

Very heavy snow here

[Marcus_surfer]

Got about 2 cm in under 10 min

[Buzz]

Well, after a maximum of -1.0 C today the temp in my neck of the woods is already down to -2.5 C

The cold certainly came to pass here, shame about the lack of snow (and lack of potential too bearing in mind my earlier post).

Could do. I would say amber warnings to be issued today for the snow end of the week. Surely it's near enough certain?

 

[Marcus_surfer]

Still going, everything  covered

I do not think freezing rain will be an issue in the South East

I'm expecting at least double that, just up the road from you.

[KidCarm]

Yay snowing in Llanelli, don't think i've ever seen this powdery type snow before sticking straight away.  Roads and other surfaced all turning white now.. I better make the most of this snow, prob be the most i see.

[Seasonal weather required]

Well everything has quickly turned white .

A good centimetre just now and Swansea gets to join in the fun at last .

Shame it will dry out tomorrow in the driest of dry patches .

Can you save some for us snow-starved Carmarthenshire folks please? Some of us are in the firing line after you've had your fill.

[snowy36]

I'm a groundsman in a uni and i've been doing it for 20 years and today must have been the coldest day in that time. 

[DeepSnow]

I think here in Tondu and Bridgend area we should get up to 10cm tomorrow/Friday, so further north and east I would expect you to get somewhat more than that, or am I being too hopeful?

I've been trying to stay positive but all the high res models show it. Met Office graphics show it (though their automated forecast does show snow now)...

BBC website graphics even show it! I find it quite hilarious but I'm going to be disappointed at the same time

That is hideous .

I hope I never have to see such a ridiculous chart ever again .

But imagine how the Llandoverians are feeling ?

If I was a llandoverian I would be absolutely furious .

That dry curve all around them .

Do we have any furious Llanoverrians in here ?

Foolishly said Llandrindod instead of Llandovery

[Snowyowl9]

I've a good feeling about this one. I'll go 20, 25-30 for north of Cardiff.
