Felly sgrifennodd James Brown :

In places above about 800' snow is beginning to accumulate. Reports from
the Gwent area speak of heavy snow on the heads of the valleys region.

Even here on the S. coast of Wales the temperature has been steadily
dropping and is now down to 5 degrees C.

Not yet here at 860 ft, although the rain is on the turn I think with temp
dropping from 3.8C to 1.6C between 8pm and 10pm. Now at 1.7C.

Thanks for that Adrian - The Brnymawr region is particularly badly hit
as usual being over the 1000' level, but lower down at Abertillery snow
is settling. It's the first range of hills an easterly wind hits and
there seems to be an orographic effect.

Now down to 4.6 here on the coast.

James
