Good job it's Sunday and not a weekday. Don't think I'd do it if I had work the next day.

Should get a few hours of snow, hopefully really heavy.

The lengths us snow obsessives go to... Still, I'd much rather be awake at 3:30 and looking for snow, rather than awake at 3:30 and worrying about potential flooding like I was a few days ago!

Something else I don't think has been mentioned is how low the temperatures will be on Sunday night into Monday. -7° in Merthyr, for example.

I been sat up drinking too many beers and worried I’d fall asleep before it hit Caerphilly haha 

Haha my missus wasn't impressed that I put an alarm on.

[ALL ABOARD]

Very heavy here now.. 

With main band yet to hit... 

[Coilspring]

Well I've stayed awake this long so might as well see it out. Nothing yet. Down to my last 10 pints now.

Starting to snow here, and the front is now taking on a definite NW-SE orientation.

Does that mean it'll pass quicker?

Earlier than expected?

Yep, very fine snow covered everything immediately 

Looking forward to the heavier stuff

[AlexThe Great]

Any chance of it stalling or pivoting any time soon?

[The4Seasons]

Snow here. Check out the M4 traffic cams for neath area. Its covered.

Starting to pivot so where this does so will receive a pasting 

Prob somewhere in S Midlands I would say would be sweet spot later but who Knows 

Let’s hope it pivots over the Valleys

No, slower. When it entered Pembrokeshire it was a fairly thin N-S front, but as it begins to slide it should keep snow going for longer.

Perhaps a bit, but all the same I'm not expecting it to stall over us; the stall and northern extent will probably be over the Midlands later, before it weakens and moves back south over Wales this evening.

[jessmum]

Looking at the radar it’s going to pass through really quickly? At least we’ll have a light covering.

The band behind the main one is intensifying too.

[PompeyFC]

This would look epic in daylight
