One side of the road clear the other a good covering with the snow blowing over that side. Proper drifting later if it does snow heavy

To put things in to perspective my sledge was empty earlier and just took it in and there was 3 inches on it crazy.

This is like waiting for Santa and hope he brings something!

I’ll join you - I’ll be far too jealous of everyone’s snow pictures to not eat it!

Just starting to lightly snow in Pontarddulais

Is this front pushig up likely to reach north wales today? Or will it stall around you guys down south? ?

[Jayfromcardiff]

Heavy snow isn't far away, half hour maybe if that!

[DeepSnow]

Yes hopefully won't take long now for the heavier stuff to reach us, snow picking up a bit here now but very small flakes, need those proper big fluffy flakes!

[gareth moo]

Batten them down, she's knocking at our door and I don't think it will even peak until 8-10pm later!

[Jayfromcardiff]

[Marcus_surfer]

Dare i say it is she picking up moisture from the bristol channel?

[butters]

well thats a bummer the metoffice update has the main event not arriving here until 5pm it was 3pm and on heavy until 2am so quite a few hours less heavy snow

 

[Buzz]

Snizzle coming down fast now, finally enough to start to accumulate on all surfaces. Temp is -3.3 C

On the teaspoon scale I believe I may have enough for a few mouthfuls.

[bigguscumulus]

OMG can someone with blue crayons fill in the gap over west Wales please

[blackrose73]

People on facebook are driving me barmy! Even calling me a liar for saying this is going to happen. And even after showing them the radar of what's coming up beneath us they still won't believe me!

it is changing all the time, one minute we are in Magor 50% heavy snow, then 95% then 70%, I expect it is just a wait and see type of thing.

[benb]

Fine, settling snow in Tenby. -1c

Radar now full to the SE...

Here we go!!

Enjoy, everyone.

Blimey that's a lot of snow heading our way! Been non stop here since I got up at 6.30. Lot of swirling, drifting and bald spots (pinching the description) lol. Suspect a pipe is frozen cos water isn't draining out of my bathroom sink ?

or a hairdryer also make sure your condensate on your boiler doesn't freeze 

[Jayfromcardiff]

This is going to be very serious! Cars still trying to get up the hill.

Shame I can’t defrost frozen pipes outside ... currently filling hot water containers from the house as everything frozen outside ... no water = no milk !! 

140 to get water to ☹️

Nicely tucked up back at home now. Main routes really starting to get a covering, although the M4 still flowing when I went over it. Now to enjoy an extended, snowy weekend. There's already a tidy mini-drift at my front door (aided by the door step). Bring it on! 

Kudos to @andymusic's ramping, which could be going on for some days yet!!
