Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion

[Baldy Snowman]

looking at GFS, quite  a few hours more to come today, and I am still wondering if the mild push they are going for later in the weekend will actually transpire, given the charts very poor run up to the event regarding the progress of the milder air. We'll see.I suppose. Happy the power has stayed on right through. any news on any power cuts?

No way at athan reporting 51cm that's near those?

Yep, BBC reporting it as one of the higher depths, there's no chance of 51cm outside.

i'd say there's bigger drifts than 51cm about, but, it's the BBC, so let's make allowances, eh?

Woke up to disappointment. Feeling rather sad. Amazing to see the snow everywhere else!

user Deep Snow was right about the freezing rain too. getting it here in Maesteg. very very fine drizzle of it. can see the tiny rain drops on my front window, and the van window is coated with a  layer of ice too. if this keeps up, bye bye power lines.cos they won't be able to take the weight of the layer of ice. imho.

long way to go yet. we're day 2 into a 3 day event, or maybe even 4 days, and you might get lucky yet. these aren't no ordinary snow events.

[freeze for all]

Well I've enjoyed this spell of snow got quite a bit here but please bring back our usual snow not this small powdery stuff lol.  It doesn't look like a winter wonderland like it usually does it's patchy and then deep and there's nothing on the trees and roofs of cars etc and it doesn't look right it's confusing me ??????

For most of Western Wales this will go down as the biggest disappointment snowise ever! Very frustrating and unfair!

Don't count S Pembs in that- been awesome here.

Right! Cardiff is crippled guys! Time for the Valleys to rise up, and overthrow our oppressors! Who's with me?

 

hang on two minutes though, while I pop on a scarf, and some mittens.....

More snowing moving in 8am...Cardiff will be cut off come this evening if we end up with another 4 inches.

Kilgetty is white

Absolutely lethal out- every surface covered with freezing rain and the snow is all crusty!

That’s a shame but it’s the weather and we’ve all been there before, fingers crossed things improve for you over the weekend

[Jayfromcardiff]

Winds very gusty now, does anyone know when the next batch is coming in?

[Baldy Snowman]

radar is showing snow very close to us in Maesteg, but it seems to die just as it reaches up. good thing is though Bridgend and Cowbridge southwards was clear a while back, but now they're engulfed in pink on v7, and it all SEEMS to be heading this way....

[benb]

 Couple from the garden. Got some ace ones of drifts in Tenby town but won’t let me load!

[Baldy Snowman]

very fine ice pellets falling here now

[WelshSnowFan]

Looking at the radar,the Swansea snow shield is still fully functional. It will make an interesting research project for someone to explain how the snow missed Swansea. Its still doing it this morning. Ah well....always next year!!!!!!!
