  1. I know, there is loads up there, but living at the moment in Newport as we are having a new house build just outside Brynmawr. Typical, the worst winter (or best lol) in ages and I've lived in Newport and missed most of it gggggrrrrrrrrrrrr Heads of Valleys getting hammered!
  2. Had it in Newport last week, was snowing heavy in town but turned to rain whee I live, drove into the housing estate, car spun sidewards and done 2k damage to steering and body. Opened door to get out, fell straight down, everything coated in a black thick ice. You could here a cracking sound as the rain fell and froze.
  3. Adam, Steve Murr is not a mild ramper, he calls it as he sees it and his posts are the first I look for. Still game on in my eyes, especially as i'm in Brynmawr tonight at 360m asl
  4. Freezing rain on the Estate I live on by Junction 28 of M4, my car just went sideways and smashed my alloy on the kerb, skating rink!
  5. Hi Jackone If my memory serves me well, wasn't Jan 1982 (the best winter in terms of snowfall in South Wales)caused by an Easterly?
  6. Lol, but it does make a change, usually the other way around!
  7. Has been great having our own threads, been really good in here the last 10 days.... we want more lol. Only just managed to get the car out of Lakeside today!!! Got 4 inches left now but thawing slowly, been a great winter so far, brings back memories of my childhood (snow lasting days, big icicles etc)... awesome! I'm 35 going on 13 lol Simon
  8. Heavy snow now in Brynmawr, here is the latest shot from the Heads of the Valleys Highest point. Driving home soon from Swansea, should be fun.
  9. I think at 350+m asl in Brynmawr, we should get a right dumping. This will add to our 9 inches left from this week that has hardly melted at all. Here is a pic from yesterday morning, looks pretty much the same now! What a week! So reminds me of the 80's, what with snow daily and huge icicles (was only saying a few weeks ago that I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen one, now there are hundreds!
  10. Hi Teits I'm travelling from Swansea to Brynmawr (top of the heads of the valleys road) in S Wales in approx 1hr, what's your thoughts on snow there? Sorry it's wrong thread but you've helped me home a few times before. Cheers Simon
  11. Is this going to miss South East Wales (Merthyr area?)
  12. i wish I did, i'm just the Manager lol, actually the manager of Hereford Play but covering Swansesa
  13. I'm worried, I run a nightclub in Swansea and have to drive to Brynmawr on the Heads of the Valley at about 3 in the morning! Still got approx 7 inches from Monday night!
  14. Very bad thunder storm from 9.30pm-midnight in Brynmawr! My 15 month old little boy is crying because he's scared bless him. Lots of lightning and very loud thunder plus torrential rain. And i'm in work in Hereford and missed it. DOH!!!!!!
  15. I think Brynmawr (375m ASL) is the highest town in Wales. Thankfully, it's where I now live. lol
  16. You just couldn't make it up could you! A costly mistake that us the taxpayer again has to fork out for. Grrr
  17. Hi Dave, Thanks for the PM yesterday, was very tricky driving home this morning at 4am but managed it. Had 6-8 inches of snow fall and none has melted, but we are high up! Just heard there may be more tonight? Any thoughts? Hope your brain isn't hurting from all that extra data on extra lol Take care, Simon
  18. Started snowing at 1am, got at last 7 inches outside now and still snowing.
  19. Hi Wintry Wales, I'm sure Cwmbran will get some snow from this spell, especially in Ty-Canol area as it is fairly high up, if we get a lot of snow in Brynmawr, i'll let you know. Simon. ps, do you go clubbing in Newport as I am the General Manager of Clubnite. PM me if you want to get on guest list (if over 18 lol)
  20. So which way do we think the 0z is going? Ugrade or downgrade? Personally, I think the pattern is set, it's just where and when. Some people are going to have a big dumping, others a dapm squib. Just for once, it would be great for a nationwide event but these are very far between these days.
  21. Hi, I live in Brynmawr (365m asl) in S E Wales. Are we too far south ot in for a pasting?
