It's because the SE and London is home to a lot of people. There's 14 million people in the Greater London area in comparison to 3 million in Wales. If a city the size of London gets severe weather the economic effects of this would be far greater in London than in Wales on the UK economy so it's no wonder this is the case. To be honest it's common sense. It's just a fact. Anyway lets hope we get snow in S.Wales on Friday:) it's unlikely but I wanna see 1 final snowfall b4 winter is out
I dont buy that population excuse.....14 million/3 million/ 10 billion.....all arbituary values.
Human life is human life. For example, Families with small babies and children above the village Bwlchgwyn had to be rescued after being drifted in for 3 days without electricity......some had used up their OWN furniture just to keep warm. There is some drifting 15-20ft over some roads here.
Maybe down in Cardiff you dont hear about this, theres been very little about those stories on the media.

Not sure why people are surprised that the UK state would rather bring the UK army out for the South East of England for 6 inches of snow.....but not care about us in North East Wales...
Unless you've not lived here long....most people arent surprised by the lack of media attention...or help
Its an age old tradition!
... enjoy! -
I knew deep snow wasn't far away, drove up to Radnor Forest, about 20 miles north of here, and the A44 east of Crossgates is lethal with drifting snow taking it down to a single carriageway in several places, lots of bits and pieces of cars left lying around as well. Then went for a walk up the top and the snow depth was incredible, 50cm lying and drifts of 1m+. Will post photos tomorrow because I can't find my camera cable at the moment and I'm too exhausted to look for it. Walking in that snow depth more or less impossible I resorted to crawling across the top.
Still snow cover here but down to about 3-4cm. Max today on -0.4c, incredibly low for 24th March. Was18c on 24 March 2012.
I can sympatheise.....I was trying to walk on a hedge without impaling myself coming back from the store...but slipped into the 6ft deep buried road....the snow drift was upto my mouth and was going down my coat.....I had to keep calm and dig my way up then crawl upto the hedge!....so tiring...no wonder people have heart attacks in the snow!
Foolish I was I know
haha -
Nefoedd wen! Dan ni'n cael ein caethiwo gan yr eira trwm eto!
Good heavens! We are being snowed in again!
Thanks wind!
.......................
The lane leading out is quite a deep sunken lane here and yet its filled upto the tops of the hedges.
Had to cross along the hedges to reach the village shop for supplies!
......................
I was walking over the hedges here. (above and bottom)
Took this picture at waist height ... as glare was causing problems
^^^ Further down the lane

Ddoe - Yesterday , - Attempts to clear snow off objects/plants
-
Pics, these were at 8:am this morning. Sorry if some are wrong way round, still learning. Still snowing.
Any news from those higher up towards Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog or over towards Llangynog/Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant?
-
In Corwen to the west of you we have about 12-14inches.... we are more in the "rain shadow" of the Berwyn Mountains here so not as bad!
Snow depths are very uneven here though (strangely as there was little wind)....some slopes have 2 foot consistently....others only 6/7 inches??? ...got chillblanes from that excursion
heheSeems those east of the Afon Clwyd and east of Corwen got hit worst then looking at those pictures down the ceiriog and alyn valleys
-
Surely in Buckley you can still reach the shops?
I recall abandoning the car once 2 miles downhill at the main road for about a week during that 2009/2010 winter and carried the shopping back on trolleys
...madness really -
Electricity flickering like crazy
-
Sorry not to post any wider shots/landscapes...but poor visibility and camera was getting "soaked" lol
Snow build up "Yn y cefn" .. by the backdoor 3rd pic lol

Indeed, a little overhyped for the majority of the country really, although those in NE Wales look like getting in excess of 30cm.
Some areas above 1000ft already have 30cm in NE Wales btw
-
I am expecting power cuts again soon.
Lights have been flickering but nothing too bad
Icicles forming. Over an inch of snow in the last hour...Wonder where the band will stall?
-
The next band has hit Oswestry/ Wrecsam border area btw
-
New band hit Corwen Around about 15 mins ago
-
Hmm in comparison to other nearby areas, Im wondering if I was a bit more sheltered than others (I was on the leeward side of the Berwyn Mountains)
Corwen to Rhuthun area, snow turned to that horrible frozen pellety stuff (11am onwards) that seems to aid melting!
Snow Conditions at 700ft/210m asl: Compacted a fair bit since this morning and becoming wetter, slight melting on roofs
Snow depth down to 7-8 inches
305m/1000 ft asl: Snow depth around 8.5 - 9 inches.
350masl quarry to my south was about 10 inches......
Wonder how deep tops of Berwyn are?......Cant see them or the Bryniau Clwyd....must be snowing heavily to the east hey Hywel?
P.S. Took a fully charged camera on a 2mile walk to picture the landscape .....as soon as I went to take a photo...it said "battery exhausted" grrr....wont try until tomorrow...
too knackiering.....dwi wedi blino'n lan!
-
From the radar its seems Bala to Dolgellau/Cadair Idris etc... been hit particularly
My location is sheltered from the wind and is lower down in a valley and yet reporting 5 inches here
...there was already an inch of snow above 350m before the snow hit so probably much deeper up there
Time to sleep I think, wonder how powerful the sun will be tomorrow
-
4 inches depth widely as of 1:40am
Nos da Aquastarmist

Woop!...Finally sticking to all surfaces.
Guessing then that the Snowline is around the 700ft/750ft asl mark...as of right now (and dropping!)..as grass just starting to turn white here
... enjoy!
haha
