latest euro4 a little bit behind on timing maybe

 

 

Mainly a higher ground event then.  Oh well...

[DeepSnow]

I hope it starts tilting more W-E soon so colder air and drop back over, don't want it coming in at the angle it is and bring in any more warmer air, my temp is already 2.6c and rising!

What's going on with the warnings? The amber says Cardiff are in the warning bit then when you go to the forecast for Cardiff it's still yellow?

I'm in work my boss said there's no flakes of snow yet so isn't concerned lol even though there's an amber!

Same here, they are convinced there will be no snow

Cardiff "City" is not, but Cardiff the county is.

human conditioning - unless it's happening before your eyes - it's not happening lol - to be fair to them until it looks like there's a problem snow situation then there isn't right now obviously - think this could be a slowly developing situation anyway - so if things do look like they're gonna get tricky, you'll have time to do something about it

yes agree, should do soon although was always forecast to get to 4c for us low lying coastal areas before it drops back. So nervous, fingers crossed. Knife edge indeed for us down towards the coast.

Where does that cover?

[soupsurfer7]

Sky is gradually getting darker in Cardiff Bay with the occasional spot of rain/sleet

[Stevetynant]

Still the right side of freezing at home  -0.5C

[freeze for all]

To my untrained eyes it looks like the front has stalled so maybe now it will start to tilt??

[coldie]

Getting closer

[Frozone]

Liking the look of this!

[LJ1224]

If this doesn't change, and actually happens. I'll be so happy.

Same 3.1c and a few spots of rain appearing on the cars - shame I can't say flakes of snow  

[CRACKPOT]

Radar not looking as intense and worrying it might actually be of less intensity?

I go to order 4x4s for night staff but wondering if it be a waste of money!

[Seasonal weather required]

Well then here we all are again .

Hello to all new and old.

Seasons greetings .

A bog standard snow event on the cards.

Not to be sniffed at yet not one that will live long in the memory.

Andymusic our regional leader and weather oracle is still going strong which is great to see .

As some may remember I was rather underwhelmed to say the least by the no snow in Swansea during the beast .

That event I’m afraid converted me mainly into a mildee....sorry but I’ve just really enjoyed the mild winter so far for running outdoor purposes ..

 

Hmm today , similar angle of attack to that as that pathetic beast day / s.. I think the Swansea area will be restricted again due to mountain shadow effect ..

High ground Swansea area maybe an inch - coastal Swansea dreaded sleet but maybe a covering .

Sleet — who invented it ? Serves no purpose and should be banned along with wasps .

Andy you on the graigerhorn today ?

I'm guessing 1:30 is at the end of lunch ? a reasonable time really! Gives the children and parents time to travel before any chaos emerges. 
However anyone on the coasts needing to come in land are much more likely to be oblivious to the impending snow away from the coasts.. and could get caught in some very nasty rush hour traffic. 

The same can't be said for the far WSW where snow is already falling according to netweather radar.. and potential disruption could be rather quick setting.

noone knows for sure. but it only takes a 1/3 of the snow forecast .. for a 4x4 to be handy... especially around Bargoed!
