Hi everyone ( I'm a noobie to the forum ) I live in Cwmbran which is quite far east and also halfway up the mountain The temperature here has been -3.7 overnight and is currently at -1.6...warming up ! Lots of snow about, ice packed roads ( off the major routes ). Been wishing for this precipitation this afternoon to be snow but the BBC seem to be saying it's going to give mostly rain.... Apparently the temperature will warm up to around 6C later but I guess it will probably start to fall as rain even though the temp will be around 2c and then climb through time to approx 6C The temps on the ground are very cold but the temps further up into our sky are warmer and thats why we're going to get rain .... I''ve still got my fingers crossed for snow living quite high up we might get a bit ! Next week looks amazing, there's some dream wintyer scenarios knocing about at the moment, in fact the weather seems hard to believe....are we really going to have massive snowstorms etc ? who knows....I for one will be keeping a close eye on things here especially now I'm off work for the Christmas break. As we speak the temp has now climbed to -1.3C Hope you all get what you want for Christmas including the presents !! BW
