Radar showing the intensity dropping as it hits the cold air, be lucky to get anything past midday.

I suppose anything extra is a bonus, after all we were expecting nothing today.

[Fujita scale]

We'll be ok mate, they're saying 1-2cm low ground and up to 7cm over the hills. You should do well.

It's not a radar fault so to speak, it's that the air is so dry beneath the cloud that the snow is evaporating before it reaches the ground. As the precip becomes heavier and the air beneath less dry, it should start to reach ground level. 

Whats the different with the air in the south then?

[Gez79]

And it’s stopped!! 2 hours of snow, freezing rain and now a little sleet 

[Panayiotis]

Fine powdery type snow falling now, lots of it but different to what was falling earlier (which was larger flakes but not as much). Starting to dust (like icing sugar) on most surfaces

[mattrout92]

Coming down a bit heavier now, bigger flakes. Car and driveway has a good dusting now

It's slowly warming up and becoming less dry from the south.

Heavy snow here now. Recovering the areas where snow had melted from earlier. Grass going white gradually

[Marcus_surfer]

Mixed rain/sleet and ice pellets here. And the small flakes we had earler are melting 

[Jayfromcardiff]

Getting heavier here.

[Coilspring]

Getting heavier as I left Bedlinog. Bit lighter through Treforest but heavier now in Church Village. Looks like its In for the day. Interesting drive home I reckon. Better crack on then. Happy snow day you lot.

[freeze for all]

Heavy snow in st Athan where I'm working but looking at radar it's going to stop soon

Edit its not going to stop soon my radar was only showing half

Coming down nicely here but very fine flakes. Covering all surfaces now other than main roads.

However can see it starting to lose intensity as it approaching us. The yellows turning to greens etc. The Vale of Glamorgan looks like the area holding best intensity while being east enough to avoid less cold air.

Yes missed again we need a striker ,close but no cigar again.

[Cymro]

Can we all just agree that easterlies are boring for Wales 90% of the time? 

Roll on a late winter northerly or north westerly. Who wants boring old easterlies?
