    word of warning. Be very careful digging tunnels. in 82 a friend of mine was nearly badly hurt when a snow tunnel collapsed on him. the panic as we frantically dug him out is still seared in my mind. he was OK, but it took us a while to get him out. we had to dig him out from the top down with our bare hands, and there were feet of snow on top of him. i don't know how old your son is. if he's big and strapping, he should be Ok, but if he's small, be careful

    Its ok will be covered over soon......hes 5ft 10 ......

    No I don’t begrudge anyone at all and some great pictures !

    The Irish ones also truly are worthy of being called epic .

    This has been a harsh lesson learned .

    Disregard the models and pay the price.

    I mocked the persistently modelled dry patch ,but it just cracked a huge dinosaur egg and dribbled it all over my humble pie stuffed face .

    I have never been so badly wrong and must face the consequences .

    The worst one being I didn’t get to build a proper snowman with my daughter .

    Another being I genuinely don’t know how to eat a bobble hat .

     

     

    No sun spots ont he sun....was another clue......

    But you didn't *know* it was coming a whole week ago. None of us did. We knew there was a good chance but a good chance alone is not enough to issue severe warnings one week in advance, given that the blizzard was far from a certainty at that stage. And besides, once it became much more certain that Emma was going to impact us (around the 26th, I think), countless warnings and endless TV and radio coverage was given to the impending snow and two-three days is plenty of time to prepare and decide not to venture out, I think. I guarantee, if you were BBC Wales's weather presenter and you told people a whole week ago that a killer snowstorm was coming only for the forecast to change at the last minute (which it sometimes does and, not to get personal, but how many times have you (and the rest of us!) got excited over low-res chart output showing major snow events which don't materialise?), you'd be in a lot of trouble.:nea:

    I knew 2 weeks ago....from Gavidsvids you tube....there was a stratosphere Warming and it had good indication for much colder weather coming .....he said we have to keep an eye on this ..and he did.......

    I'm quite lucky to have a garage 5 mins away that serves hot food etc. It's whether they can get supplies is the problem.  I knew this was forecast so did a large shop but will have to top up at some point

    Got enough for another few days ...trying to think ahead.....

    I just think it's too cold to enjoy or is it I'm just getting old?! 

    I would of been the first out but this time I'm enjoying it from inside! Even had to push the dog out for a pee this morning! The cats won't go out! 

    My husband had to dig a deep path so the cats could go out.....they were getting anxious cat flap had snow covering it over...

    Surely more warnings will be issued today? Snow is really coming down at the moment and the wind is still going. Someone I know just posted this photo on Facebook....this is what us in Tredegar have got up to!

    Few hours till the heavier stuff hits us and it looks a slower system than forecast, also Southampton area seams to have the heaviest precipitation so seems to b further east but hopefully will start to move back towards us

    The Met office said it would be slow moving....

    It's showing -3.3c on the outside and the snow is coming in horizontally.  I can see the birds still eating all the seeds and mealworms we put out earlier but they don't look happy.  Hope they can find some shelter later on.  We keep breaking the ice on the water bowls but it must be almost impossible for small birds and animals to find food and stay alive in these conditions. Even the sheep are huddled together under a tree looking very forlorn, but at least they've got woolly coats better than my duvet!  Wondering how long this snow wil carry on for, now.  If it goes on all night I'll not be going anywhere tomorrow.....

    We feed the birds every day i feel sorry for all the animals and birds out in this...
