Keep the faith Phantom2. It’s been very icy just a mile or so inland near Penmark and you did ok last March. It was so icy in the country lanes that two cars crashed (luckily with no serous injuries) near me this morning and the ice at the bottom of the valley is thick. I think the snow will settle and, away from a beach, we’ll all be in luck.

Rain in Barry so far. Not expecting the coastal south to get anything apart from rain showers till after dark. Good luck everyone else.

Very icy near the airport west of Barry. Not a flake of snow. I think we were served our quota last March with lanes blocked for days by drifts after the beast hit. Here’s hoping for something by the end of next week and a cold spell running into February. Glad lots of posters have had some snow.

Last year we had the huge drifts in early March. Sadly no glory for the south coast near the airport expected imminently. Good luck to everyone else this week. Hope you get some snowy fun and that is lowlanders can join the party soon.

March 1-3 2017 had some terrific powdery snow. In the lanes we had some huge drifts near the sweet spot of St Athan in the the rural Vale of Glamorgan. We were plugged solid for weeks from this storm.

Snowing all last night and today near Cardiff airport. Same ground up melt that others have noted but a thaw-freeze with fresh snow due continually into the early hours will make the rural roads treacherous.

Snowed last night again in the south near the airport. Also a drip, drip, drip but there’s still huge drifts and plenty of settled snow. I live between two villages and we are all totally cut off by massive drifts filling the lanes still. The airport remains closed and farmers yesterday were telling me some major routes were likely to remain impassable. It’s going to be remembered as a big event in the rural Vale of Glamorgan. Lots of services may well still be closed by Monday.

Steady blowing snow since 6.00 about a mile from the airport. We’re on farmland and the fields are covering up in white nicely.

Lanes and even A roads through farmland aren’t great as the water runs off. There’ll be lots of localised flooding across the rainy part of South Wales today. I’m near the airport and took my landrover to Barry earlier - far less capable vehicles were being driven at speeds near to 40mph through standing water by the unaware and the stupid. We’ve had a lot of this away from the snowy parts (we just had that one afternoon of rain to snow before Christmas) although winter seems to have been snowy for many at elevation.

Looks like some members had a good snow day. Sadly it was not great for me. Had a few seconds of snow in Barry this morning. Felt optimistic about evening showers for near the airport. Had ten minutes of lovely driving snow as I drove down the A48 back from Cowbridge at about 7pm. Then it dried up. Apart from a couple of flurries for seconds at a time, nothing but starry skies above me between Moulton and Penmark. I’m calling it a night. Well done if you had better: fingers crossed for us all for the next event this weekend.

Well... we have had some snow this winter, about as far south as you can get, near the airport and the coast. It fell without settling for an hour or so on Saturday morning. My snowy expectations have been ruinously high since growing up in the 70s on higher ground. My enjoyment of snow, and my expectations, formed during those late 70s and early 80s snow events. They were boosted by a couple of early 90s winters in the East Midlands. Then we had 2009. But not much since. And in the lean years frustration grows. What chance of something in the next few weeks?

Well, it is snowing in Penmark, about a mile from the airport. Nothing to get too excited about though, as it is not settling yet. Not going to see anyone on a sledge from this.

Hi WM, could you add me please - CF35 5BG.

Derek the weather suggests snow showers only tonight. This shower is getting stuck in here and settling on the cars. Whilst snowy ground is a bit much to hope for from these synoptics, it's very nice to see the white stuff fluttering about at this time of year.

Snowed all along the Heads of the Valleys road as I drove between Abergavenny and Merthyr this afternoon up till about 4.30. Then flurries off and on down A470 as far as Tongwynlais. Persistent snow falling in Corntown about a mile from Bridgend. It is a nice bonus as my Easter trip to Yorkshire was cancelled due to amount of snow down and heavy snow forecast to be falling all day. That was a real blow to a snow lover. Not settling here at moment but as the ground cools, who knows....

Snowing heavily enough to begin to cover the road outside.

Steady heavy snow in Cardiff. It is blowing about a bit and only settling on cars but it's just a start here in the city centre.

Hello in the SW thread. I am in the middle of Cardiff and due to drive to Bristol airport by six am on Saturday morning. What's the best way in in these conditions please?

Heavy snow again in Riverside, Cardiff a mere 8m ASL!

Lovely wispy light snow falling over Riverside in Cardiff.

No snow settled in the middle of Cardiff along the Taff. Sleety mix falling heavily.

Snowing by Millennium Stadium in central Cardiff.
