just put the kettle on, sit back and enjoy the show, for the rest of the weekend. this isn't weather to be going out in.
-
unlucky for them. i'm just hoping this freezing rain me and Deep Snow have seen here locally isn't too widespread, otherwise it might be our turn next. won't take much of it to bring power lines down. v7 not saying there's any about though, but perhaps it's cos it's so fine?
-
can EASILY see that happening
-
very fine ice pellets falling here now
-
radar is showing snow very close to us in Maesteg, but it seems to die just as it reaches up. good thing is though Bridgend and Cowbridge southwards was clear a while back, but now they're engulfed in pink on v7, and it all SEEMS to be heading this way....
-
Right! Cardiff is crippled guys! Time for the Valleys to rise up, and overthrow our oppressors! Who's with me? hang on two minutes though, while I pop on a scarf, and some mittens.....
-
long way to go yet. we're day 2 into a 3 day event, or maybe even 4 days, and you might get lucky yet. these aren't no ordinary snow events.
-
user Deep Snow was right about the freezing rain too. getting it here in Maesteg. very very fine drizzle of it. can see the tiny rain drops on my front window, and the van window is coated with a layer of ice too. if this keeps up, bye bye power lines.cos they won't be able to take the weight of the layer of ice. imho.

i'd say there's bigger drifts than 51cm about, but, it's the BBC, so let's make allowances, eh?
-
probably a drift?
-
looking at GFS, quite a few hours more to come today, and I am still wondering if the mild push they are going for later in the weekend will actually transpire, given the charts very poor run up to the event regarding the progress of the milder air. We'll see.I suppose. Happy the power has stayed on right through. any news on any power cuts?
-
you've had freezing rain have you?
-
cracking event so far to be fair. like a mini 1982. lol not bad considering it's the 2nd day of spring. more to come too looking at v7. looking outside though, because of the way it has blown the snow into random foot/2foot high tumps, maybe our depot could have opened today, for limited deliveries, but i'm not complaining about the day off. don't fancy being out in that wind.
-
HUGE amount of precipitation to our south on v7. mostly rain but when it comes over us.....?
-
precipitation pepped up again close to you though. the hills here are definitely having an effect i reckon
-
gap is really close to our west
-
tiles and shutters being blown off shops in Commercial street Maesteg
-
looks like a gap in the precipitation rather than blue of rain
-
no lightning detected on v7
-
i wonder if thats freezing rain off Porthcawl on the v7 radar?
-
ha! Dai after tomorrow!
-
yeah, looking good on radar
-
was out working in it today, and the warmest i saw all day was minus 2

hmmm what is the OTHER hand doing though?
