Andy and Adam, I'm in Englishman living in Wales - by choice! (and I love it) The only mistake I made moving from Southampton, was thinking I was going to see real snow here. Unfortunetly I didnt realise Milford Haven shares the same warm gulf stream as the Solent does and the location of both places at the head on a large estuary doesnt help either. Mind you since Pembs is known as Little England beyond Wales, perhaps it's not really Wales
Anyway, whats the basic overall feeling or is it just too early to really call yet? Will we really see much in in West Wales? Or just a dusting?
As a side line I cannot believe how much people are panicking in the local supermarkets. Considering our location, and the rarity of "real" snow around here, people were today fighting in Asda Pembroke Dock for bags of frozen chips! and dont even ask for bread, milk or porridge oats and salt

Asda Cardiff bay - no salt left - will be putting dishwasher salt on my chips tonight!!

I'm actually worried lol for next week, snow sunday, sunday night, monday then tuesday night according to BBC... i have an A level exam wednesday.
There probably will be all sorts of contingency plans for getting staff in for you to do your exams no matter what. We have the same situation for students and we will have to sort something out , come what may!!

Our car saying it's 1c. Clearly not working!!
While we are waiting - what about this question - Should Derek be made a saint? My favourite forecaster - a national institution! Votes please.

And cold not going anywhere fast, only a over progrssive gfs has a mild spell set in. ECM and meto keep the cold going so any more snow should lie for a while.
Sunday and mondays event, too far for accurate prcipitation rates but i see in excess of 15cm i will explain why later when i do a full analysis.
Yay - a forecaster!!

hmmm.... bit worried now
Have you seen the rainfall and temps on met office maps for Sunday/ Monday - looking good!!
Or is it - don't have much of a clue personally.
My brother says he can smell snow. What do you reckon?!

Sai'n credu taw 'ny yw'r problem, Beth yw e ma pobl yn ofn cyffroi rhag ofn bod y gwaetha'n digwydd a h.y. dim eira. Bach o gam arwain baswn i'n ddweud.
I don't believe that's the problem,. What it is is that people are scared of getting excited incase it doesnt snow. A bit of umm what's the English word. Sods law? I don't know what it is help
cam arwain - misleading?

Completely agree - after gettting our hopes up last week
If you don't expect anything - everything is a pleasant surprise!!

Cardiff got an inch (just). Went sledging this morning and by the time we got there the kids were mostly muddy slush/dead leaf sledging. We are definately due a dumping here. Getting very depressed. Please somebody say there are 6 inches on the way for me. Having said that - we have kids doing exams next week in school so don't really want the disruption - just the snow!!!!
-
At least the gritters will sort the roads out!
This is not good. This was the last of the endangered gritter species that we still have in Wales and now it's crashed - disaster!
-
Still snowing in Canton but not whiteout yet. Looking forward to building snowmen with the kids - as long as they don't shut the park like they did before Christmas (the council - not the kids). Is this going to freeze overnight? It's mighty cold out there.
-
Welcome! Hopefully off school! Have another beer!
Thank you Marcus. Will do!!!
-
Snowing here now
-
WOW V HEAVY SNOW.
New to this - so be nice! No snow here in Canton. Hope we will see some soon!! The suspense is killing me at the moment. One question - will I be in school or should I have another beer?
-
Ah sorry missed it, shame, it does look like its coming to an end looking at the radar.
What radar? Still raining in Cardiff but what the hell hsppened to the 'winter storm'?

No don't ban the bbc - Derek's forecast earlier was cracking - snow all over the place and it's the only place that can tell me if my kids schools are closed - county council don't seem really interested in letting me know - about as interested as they are in gritting, truth be known.
We Welsh can rise above this marginalisation from the English once again!!
So- snow from sat onwards in cardiff - I know it's not a lot but .........
Reminds me of the joke - how do you eat an elephant?? - a little bit at a time!
