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.

Looks like an interesting night for you Howard!

I'm waiting with bated breath. The wind went round to NE a few hours ago
but he temperature has been very slow in falling. It is currently 2.5C
and it is raining quite hard, presently shown as 6mm per hour.

On reading your post, I went outside to see if there was any sign of the
rain changing state but it is still definitely rain. If (when?) it
changes to snow there will be quite a depth if the precipitation stays
at its current level.
