As one of the few Caltic folk here I wish we had a few more reports from
Wales. There appears to have developed an area of heavy precipitation
over Snowdonia - moving south - I'm right on the S Wales coast and the
wind off the sea has locally raised temps to 6.0 - we have our own micro
climate.

Incidentally I would go with Will's forecast for a return of the
easterlies - based on the old 'memory trick' that a pattern often
returns after a short interlude - well we can live in hope! ;-))

Cheers

1.9.C here in Port Talbot, under partly cloudy skies. Hoping we may see
a little more interesting weather over the next few days...

Thanks Gareth - I am literally a hundred yards from the sea front and
the temp is now a balmy 6.3 in a SW wind directly off the channel - I
think the junction of the warm front and cold is just leaving N Wales -
the circulation Will referred to?

The ground is still wet from an earlier shower and is likely to turn
very icy later on methinks,

Cheers

Not convinced it's going to snow, but we shall see.

A few snow showers here near Carmarthen during the day, but currently
drizzling, and the temperature has risen to 2.4c. However, Rob McElwee has
forecast that it will freeze solid overnight. (Or at least I think that's
what he said - I was losing concentration by then).

I see Capel Curig is now reporting heavy snow - presumably on the back
edge of the CF

We have seen no snow up here till this morning when we have had a few
brief showers. There is now a very thin coating of snow. Current
temperature is -4.9 so little warmth. It is just a lack of precipitation.

In other words, there has been little to report. Sorry, James.

Not at all - there is now quite a few contributors from Wales ;-))
You might get a fair bit more in the next couple of days Howard.

Depends on who gets it right. According to the Met Office, we should be
having a number of heavy snow showers today. However, GFS indicates it
will be dry. We will see.
