this is quite funny - back of my house A470 upper boat tesco, pontypridd - can see in lamp posts extremely heavy snow, front of my house - nothing! guess its just the way the wind is blowing! have to just look out of the back window!!
-
yes very odd but it could be the wind direction perhaps. its slowly starting to change - within last hour we had light sleet, then snow, then back to heavy sleet rain, now as we speak its starting to turn to snow from the nearest lamp post I can see on the A470!Which is odd because just over the church village bypass over here in Llan which is not that high up it been snowing nicely for a while now

hammy i would say really only within the last hour members have been reporting snow, although some parts within few miles of each other its a fight between snow and heavy rain. members reporting snow are west wales, south wales valleys and heads of valleys. although for some like myself - bottom valleys its yet to changeGreetings from the westmidlans! Looks like a fair few of you are having joy out of this, long may it continue ! one question how early did this front arrive?

wwelshgritter welcome, job well done hats off to you. silly question it may seem but i was watching news earlier and a gritter mentioned that grit on the road does not just melt snow and ice. it actually relies on other vehicles to activate it :~ puzzled by this I can understand relying on cars to disperse it etc but activation?Pouring down in Neath. Just got in from gritting. Done my bit

snowing here now andy as well and wind has really picked up. just opened the vents on the log fire and the wind whipping from the chimney sounds like Mo Mowlam rolling over in bedHERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO - HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO - SNOWING IN THE CROWS NEST UP IN GOOD OLD PONYPRIDD
keep us posted andy as your higher up than us, but I can see certainly keep people posted about A470 as its 50 yards away from my back window. Bring on the SNOW, snow snow!!!!!!!

just starting to sleet/rain here. nothing signiicant but starting this moment. Location Upper Boat, Tesco, A470, Pontypridd

Or you could view it the other way, with far too many people being overly positive. Everyone is entitled to their view, not just the ones who chose to shout the loudest.
of course there is always positivity in the Wales forum - we are all a good crowd and get high on vodka and red bull, we sniff it through our eye sockets! I do not think its overly being positiive. With respect idi - If you have been following this forum for the last week ,a few members here predicted a major event for this coming weekend. The fact the METO have backed this up is positive indeed. I have been a member here for a few years and have enjoyed the buzz of all the members when it comes to snow events! Sit back relax and get ready for the end of the world as we know it. SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!!!
perfecto!!!YES!!! it's just started to sleet/snow
-

i musy say considering whats about to happen its might quiet in here tonight! Perhaps the fact its nearly 1am is a fair point LOL
This is going to be the king of kings I think! SNOW bring it on. Looking out back window - even though its 1am Upper Boat Tesco car park is full. All the preppers getting ready I dare to say!
-
who needs a nap lol i have been waiting for what seems like an eternity let it snow already
needed a nap as only got back from austria earlier today after a medivac flight. was shattered. but all ready now.
-
morning peeps had my nap now getting ready for the EVENT!!!! Snow, snow and more snow LOL
-
It's a good plan- I might even go to bed now and get up at midnight... will that work?
Good luck to everybody; enjoy what could well be a historic event!
Stay safe, too.
EDIT: I'm too excited to go to sleep now!
Enjoy - my daughters schools have already said they are closed tomorrow in advance of the warnings. Temps dropping here now.
-
Forget the bread and milk, I've for the lager in lol! Snow party anyone? Haha x
phew that was my thinking - gas portable stove - check, milk - check, bread - check, torches - check, candles - check, coal - check, logs - check and most importantly LAGER - double check
-

HE HE HE! Don't go to sleep then you do not have to wake up LOL!
-

Is any one in wales going to be sleeping tonight then? because i know im not, how do you find out regions that are affected by the warnings on the met office can never get them to come up?
NOPE NOPE NOPE and NOPE!! I want to lamp post watch but unfortunately after our 18 hours Power Cut last week the street lights have all blown! So will have to resort to using a torch to see whats falling out the sky
thanks anyway regards to all you guys.
