  1. gutted......... earlier forecasts were indicating a start of the cold weather to be as late as mid December this year with February benchmarked to be the worst - so a long way to go yet....!
  2. Hows it looking all......when is the good old cold coming...??? Last Year I started gritting the last week of november. Come on the cold. ordered by winter gear.....happy days.
  3. I own a scaffolding business and today was absolutely freezing. Pont Henri first thing then Bridgend......really cold..... fleece on.
  4. I just want cold cold and more cold...........cant come quick enough!!!
  5. Thanks for the updates - keep it going as things firm up! Cheers, Your Local Welsh Grittng Machine!
  6. Morning All, I have had numerous texts this morning about cold weather next week! I am panicking as my gritters are still being reconed. They are indicated single figure temperatures next week - can anyone shed any light as to whether the low ground (M4 corridor Cardiff - Neath) will dip below zero during the nights? Panicing a bit - please help..........................!!!!! p.s.....come on wales !!!!!!
  7. Any data firming up on this winter as yet ? very mild @ present...............
  8. Anyone got any ideas how the winter is looking this present time? La Nina seems to be back in? Im no weather buff so if anyone can shed any light? The word on the street is that is will come earlier this year. What are your views? Thanks, Your local Welsh Gritter
  9. If you asking me - its too mild !! - bring back te cold ! (Clutching Straws). Still got one gritter attached just in case of any abnormality!
  10. I need to get some sites in Lampeter....... bermuda shorts down here today.
  11. Confidence has faded away on the freezealert data - no immediate cold weather for a considerable period of time - may even have seen the last of it!
  12. Will it ................?? http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/180018/Snow-joke-White-stuff-s-on-the-way-/
  13. My Netweather 'Freeze alert' long term forecasting is giving a 92% chance of snow next Sunday??? This Weather is mad ! I have pretty much had a fully week gritting. I have done more this week than I did for the whole of Feb! Gets rid of the mountain of Rock Salt I got anyway. More of the cold and a bit of the white stuff please! Your local Welsh Gritting Machine.
  14. Morning All, Just wondering how the models are looking today. My long range forecasts are up and down at the moment, and this morning they are up ! Yesterday on one run I had next Tue/Wed with some over night temps getting below zero. At present they are all above. Looking at other sites and they are giving a cold next week for sure. Can anyone give me some good news? Cheers, Welsh Gritter.
  15. All this is music to my ears !! I'll be honest, I wasnt expecting anything else. Winter come early and felt it would have finished early.
  16. Fingers Crossed !! Be Awesome if there is snow, cold will do, but snow even better !!!
  17. I dont think they can close this thread until Winter is finally over and not coming back. I look at the information in this discussion as real time info (more so when snow is falling) than that of my reports.
  18. Watched it on Catch Up......... cant see local farmers parting with their £250k pride and joy to the council every winter, for them to turn them into snow plows and gritting machines. Not only that, they wouldnt come back in one piece going by their driving. With a max speed of 12 m.p.h...............???? Good laugh thou..... :lol: Music to my ears. Still got 140 tonne of Rock Salt left !!! Lucky there is no expiry on this stuff. Be nice to get a couplr of days here and there.
  19. I would love to see one last flurry in March, but personally I just cannot see it happening! GUTTED.
  20. Morning All, My Netweather extended forecast for my sites is showing a return of the cold next week. I am not holding my breath as things have been so up and down over the last week. One minute im loading up the gritter, the next thing im kicking off my steel toe caps and 'huffing' on the sofa. Has this weather for next Tuesday onwards got any substance? Can you guys see anything coming in? Cheers, Carl
