Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion

So frustrating, looking at the radar it's dying out before reaching us, all we are getting is the fine snizzle, not the heavy stuff.

Its good to see a few more people happy in here and thats before the main event. What i'm taking from it is the temp that is -4 ( i cant remember seeing snow at that temp and probably 40-50 mph wind., both very unusual.

<nod> The temperature dropped noticeably at 1100, and the snow stopped.  Didn't start back up until it warmed up again about 1200 noon

Its just frozen drizzle here , and looking at the radar the perc is dieing down as it spreads north. Even if the heavier bursts make it here I am bang inbetween the 2 this whole hype to be honest has been disappointing to say the least

But it just won't get here, it dies out over the Bristol Channel...

It wont hit where I am, and thats still out to the channel. If you watch the radar you will see thats headed for Bristol and its dieing down quickly as it moves over cornwall and devon its all to far east

This will get here, i 100% guarantee .

Just possible that we're beginning to see the front fracture somewhat over Devon, as progged, with the western section going to take a more direct path to Ireland, probably clipping W Wales and the eastern section continuing to head more due N toward SE Wales... might not be reading the radar right... but something to watch.

Still nothing on my cars and block driveways/patio. Grass is another matter. 

My front garden is quite deep, the back garden has a little hilly drift and a big gaping hole in the middle.  

That wind has a lot to answer for. Lol.

Wot were the main roads like m8?

Covered and the worst to come according to radar. High corner coop and corner shop shut

[Baldy Snowman]

honestly. do a screen cap of two hours ago and now on NW radar, and tell me anywhere west of Cardiff is a bust. I'd post them if i didn't think I'd get a row for doing so. lol

 

points west of swansea are about to be hammered, as are points east. if anything me here in Maesteg might miss out slightly in comparison, smack in the middle of those two blobs, but i am very happy so far with what is falling, and will fall. i think the hills around here will play a role too and pep up things.chill out everyone, this is an epic event.

[mrmonopoly]

I just feel so cheated to be honest, worse eastly in years , and there is nothing here and what is coming is breaking into 2 sections both missing by a mile 10 - 20 cm my weeble

Yes it will be a bit gutting here to miss the worst of it if thats how it goes, but if it gets heavy enough to give me an inch or 2 covering then ill be happy!

[mrmonopoly]

 That is how I see things , and I am in that massive gap in the middle. Lights are flashing on and off also
