Absolutely nothing here

[Ian Ballinger]

Well the radar says it should be raining or whatever, but nothing is falling, met office has it dry all day here

[final dest]

Hmmm. I do not  think i am getting to Bristol tomorrow. Huge 50p flakes falling and accumulating quickly.

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

 

You got a nice bit of accumulation there

[Ian Ballinger]

What would make the radar show precip but nothing falling. Weather station has a dew point of -6 so presume if it does fall will be snow?

Evaporation before hitting the ground

evaporation of the precipitation because of the dry easterly wind drifting of the high mountains of Eryri.

According to radar heavier precipitation about to hit Swansea .

Might get a couple of centimetres at this rate - hope it keeps going and doesn’t turn to rain though!

[Jayfromcardiff]

I'll take that if it happens.

I'm Narberth way. The flakes turned to very thin snow but still coming down. Not really sticking mind

Higher ground as per usual.

Huge 50p flakes very nice

[WendySays]

Some chunky bits floating down in Tycroes, but not enough to settle yet unfortunately.

[Jayfromcardiff]

This is intensifying before hitting land, funny how the ECM had this nailed on yet again.

Should last a while some heavier bursts in it.

Hi Lloyd.  It’s probably due to slightly higher elevation here - when this stops and you can see the Preselis again they’ ll have a nicely iced topping!  Bet they’ll be more than a few peeps up there later.....    I’ve see that road across the top almost blocked by cars parked anywhere and everywhere when people want to get their sledges out....
