    intensity has definitely fallen away around us this past 15 minutes. lots less deep pink on the radar now. still quite an intense band heading for cardiff though Jay. :unsure: definite signs of it fading away though.
  2. bennytes
    yes, looking at it, something like 2 hours plus of snow in total, and that band you're on about seems to be slipping south of us for now. i'll keep an eye on it though. weird, you're right in the middle of it on the radar
  3. bennytes
    it's not gonna miss you.

    massive flakes of snow now here
  5. bennytes
    yeah, you seem to have a long stream of snow heading your way. some heavy stuff bearing down on you as well.
  6. bennytes
    jay, should be hitting you in the next half hour or so, judging by the radar.
  7. bennytes
    yep you're in the bullseye mate! :lol:
  8. bennytes
    snowing heavy up here DS cancelled my trip to the hospital because the radar looks like more is coming our way.
  9. bennytes
    sticking, no problem it's a bit of a problem tbh, because we have to go visit my mother in Bridgend Hospital, but looking at the radar, we might have a serious problem coming home. this is in for about 4 hours looking at the radar.

    snowing heavy now in maesteg. Jay, i think you're in luck mate!!
  11. bennytes
    yep, there's quite a heavy blob of pink heading for you on the NW radar.
  12. bennytes
    just starting to pick with snow here. looks like maybe a good hour or so of snow on the NW radar heading for us.
  13. bennytes
    i'll believe that when i see it.
  14. bennytes
    yep, agreed. we all have difficult jobs though, most of us not anywhere near the money these boys get. if we make mistake after mistake, guess what happens? there were a few posters on THIS forum who called this event spot on. Maybe they should replace all these Beeb/Met Office forecasters, eh?
  15. bennytes
    yep we all know their were covering their behinds, BUT when a severe event DOES happen now, I reckon people will just brush it off, 'aw, nothing happened last few times, nothing will happen this time' cue hundreds of people getting trapped in cars etc etc I'm convinced that'll happen now.

    as a courier, delighted this big snow went pear shaped. as a big kid, I'm oh well, better luck next time.
  17. bennytes
    yeah, i think it's around that altitude.
  18. bennytes
    the bwlch is closed then? ok, looks like pont nedd fechan is out!
  19. bennytes
    i got to go out delivering now, all over south wales. Ogmore vale, Pont Nedd fechan, Neath, swansea, maesteg, bridgend, pencoed. lovely. if it does turn nasty, i'll be right in it! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    sleet here there's a mountain nearby that's about 1500 feet high, and the top 4 or 5 hundred feet is turning white, so i'd say the snow level is around 1000 feet asl at the moment.
  21. bennytes
    interesting on the NW radar there is precipitation all around me here in Maesteg, and sleet is showing up as well. been out, and it's still dry, but encouraging to see the sleet level down here so soon.
  22. bennytes
    lot of confusion. at least we are AWARE of the possibility of an extraordinary event this time. 30 years back we didn't have a clue. at least everyone is 'prepared' for it this time. good luck all anyway. off to bed. working in morning!
  23. bennytes
    i think people are having difficulty connecting?
  24. bennytes
    and if this low does what lows in this situation NORMALLY do and pull slightly further south than anticipated, it could be even BETTER, or worse, depending on your point of view?
