you need to leave the singing to your better half lol.

[DeepSnow]

Still nothing falling here that I can see yet, temp not budged from 3.1c, that front should start to pivot now/soon? Hard to tell on the radar.

[ALL ABOARD]

Could increase snow amounts for us, watch the radar to see if it begins to wrap and form. 

[beatpete]

3.5 here but dropping slowly...

 

[Phantom2]

3.7c in Rhoose, waiting for the system to pivot and draw in colder North Easterly's ....all about timing here, later in the day the better !

[thetipster]

latest radar dont forget that front edge of the ppn band pushing in is ice crystals giveing false ppn echo

[Frozone]

Still dry in Mumbles!

[CRACKPOT]

I'm a pessimist - this is not looking good on the radar unless the pivot increases soon.  The precipitation doesn't look to have a lot of depth though?

[Marcus_surfer]

Rain here nothing even remotely wintry quite disappointed

The front is slowly beginning its pivot and while it has lost some of its intensity, which is almost unavoidable when any kind of precipitation come in contact with cold air, there's still plenty enough intensity to give many centimetres of snow. Expect light snow to begin in the Valleys within the next twenty minutes.

[Sky Full]

Just driven back from Carmarthen where it was +3c and dry, to Crymych where it is 0c.  We could see the whitening top of Foel Cwmcerwyn in the distance but it was still dry this side of the hills.  As I write this we now have light patchy snow falling but I can see heavier stuff in the distance.  No rain ahead of it, just snow, and the wind has suddenly increased.  Hope this strengthens and spreads to all of you lot in the next hour of two.

I'll hold you to that! lol

Winds got up here .....

[LJ1224]

Absolutely nothing happening here. No rain, no snow. Just grey skies.

[DeepSnow]

Temps on the rise, 3.5C now, the later this comes in the better as need to wait for themps to stop rising and start dropping back quite a bit. Hmm my optimism has decreased until I see the temps drop. 

[Phantom2]

Knotted hanky and flip flops on now in Rhoose ..a balmy 4c

Ysgol Y Preseli closed at noon, so daughters happy with 1/2 snow day.

Light snow started 12.30 in Narberth, just cold light rain here in Carew  atm.

[matty lfc]

Tiny flakes of snow in the air up here at the heads of the valley and the wind has changed to a cold south easterly .

[Stevetynant]

0.3C at home- still plenty cold enough but not a flake yet - John I'm holding you to 15.00 which should tie in with MO  :0))

[NoTraction]

Just started  to rain here in carmarthen. 

5 minutes later it is now sleet

[Jonathan Rhodri Roberts]

Now this is strange according to the radar it's been raining here for about 30mins, except when I went outside everything is still dry

[Panayiotis]

The precipitation is evaporating before it hits the ground, wait for the heavier stuff 

[LJ1224]

I'm sat here looking out of my window getting sad. I'm a lunatic please, weather gods. Just a little bit, please!
