Any reports from west wales? 
re precip? 

Snow has reached me here - about 10 minutes ago - it’s fairly light but settling immediately on all surfaces as it was below feeling last night.  Doesn’t look like there’s much heavy stuff on the way but hopefully it won’t turn to rain for a couple of hours because it’s nice to watch it falling!

I can confirm what is falling here is snow, but very light currently.

Nice. It would seem much more than that if you were going off the radar, perhaps signs that not everything reaching the ground. 

[danthetan]

woke up to ice pellets hitting the window and temp 3.0 now temp dropping to 2.6 and light wet sleet/snow need intensity and temp to drop further

BBC weather forecast a moment ago having none of it for lower levels. Its 1.2 here in llanharan and I'm not convinced either

Dew point -2c so there's still a chance of snow if heavy enough but by the time it prob reaches here it would have warmed up a bit more

[Marcus_surfer]

There's a few flurries in swansea

[Pembs458]

Getting heavier now, but the ground is wet, so I doubt it will settle here.  Nice to see though. 

[bradymk]

Yes unfortunately I can’t see any accumulations below 100m today but hope we all see falling snow either way. Some heavy stuff moving in to west Pembs now.

Nice to see falling snow should see moderate snow for a while.Front should slow and stall hopefully. 

[Marcus_surfer]

Starting to accumulate here 550ft ASL

[bradymk]

Would be nice @keithlucky as last week I missed it falling when it came through quicker than expected.

Snow is setting down here in Caswell which is a surprise.

[Cymro]

Bwrw eira ysgafn fan hyn Light snow here

[Sky Full]

It’s still coming down but I would say only light to moderate and not likely to accumulate much if this only continues for a couple of hours.  It’s great to see falling snow during the day, though, and I’m still hoping we might get something more substantial in February!  The forecast is for this to turn to rain mid-morning so I’ll have to be satisfied with what I’ve got.....

It is Marcus, only the 3rd time since 2013 if I've remembered correctly!

There's actual snow in Port Talbot! Think I'm 100ASL

[AlexThe Great]

Moderate snow in briton ferry

[baggielad]

It's just stopped, but looking at the radar there should be more.

Great to see that many are seeing falling snow today almost down to sea level 

[final dest]

Morning all, Hope you all enjoy the snow today.

Can confirm light snow falling and settling in Tegryn, Pembrokeshire.

[jessmum]

Come on! Llanharan should be next please!!

[Ian Price]

No precipitatiin here nr. Caernarfon, despite blue and some green echoes on the radar over us. I guess the strong easterley wind is blowing the precipitation back west to sea!

This is a good point! Precip will

prob be around 5-10 miles behind the echoes 

[Marcus_surfer]

Bigger flakes!

[Sky Full]

Turned slightly heavier in the last 10 minutes with larger flakes.  Does this mean it’s about to stop.
