That's very strange as I live in Llanharan which is right next to Brynna and we have our fair share of snow here, not like you get on the mountains but we don't do to bad!! In 2009 we had 6 inches, in 2010 we had 12 inches, not much last winter (but then again did anyone lol) only 1 morning which amounted to about 3cms but was gone in the afternoon and yesterday morning we had our first snowflakes of the winter which was only the lightest of dustings but our first lol. As for being able to cast out to sea!! "I wish we could" and my mrs does to because i'd spend more time in the house and save a fortune on fuel, because every chance I get im out on the beach casting into that sea lol.
