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!

Cheers,
James

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.

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.

Now snowing hard (11:30pm) - temp 1.0C. Not settling yet.

Congratulations to the forecasters who predicted this days ago!

Further report.

Very disappointing this morning. No snow at all at my level and the
Black Mountain only has a very light peppering of snow at the to (from
about 1500ft). Minimum temperature overnight was 0.5C.
