a little bit of exageration there i think, just drove down the m4 in berkshire i can assure you its open, in wales maybe its closed

but the m4 does go all the way to london you know!!

[tom_f123]

[The PIT]

Bah Radar is a load ballcocks still showing it's doing something which it isn't.

Cold at 0.2C at the mo.

[Serendipity]

Just a quick warning for those who are waiting for the snow to come - it si snowing here, but the snow is quite sleety and it is actually melting all our existing snow cover so don't expect it to add to the cover!

Best Place for looking at the Traffic in SouthWales is here

http://www.traffic-wales.com/traffic?tab=1&mode=current

Certinaly looks like much of Southwales is under heavey Snow, and in one or 2 of them the M4 in Southwales is cloce to baing snowed over.... find the "clippa Park" and "high Cross Cameras on the M4 east of Cardiff.

Crikey!!!

Thanks for the link, had tried that one already but can't access the cams, same on several other cams in the area guess everyone is doing the same so the servers can't cope.

[shadowdragon]

Well it seems to be snowing here again, according to the bbc forecast though its supposed to be misty but looking at the NW alert for the area I aint surprised we have snow.

Some of yesterdays has now melted but still cannot get off the estate without risk of breaking something as the road and pavement are icy and we are on a hill.

[tom_f123]

according to latest bbc forecast looks mostly rain and sleet east of birmingham, but very heavy snow over west country, most of wales and west mids 5-10cm has already fallen in some parts of wales could get a lot more yet

[wallopweather]

According to RAC site J47-49 is now closed

Crumbs, snow must be coming down at a hell of a rate, I had only just looked at traffic news for this area before posting and honest at that time the M4 in Wales was open. Best of luck with digging you way out later.

[Matty J]

Cardiff webcam is very impressive, looks like its chucking it down!

It seems more people are getting snow than was originally forcast, the Meto have even issued a SWW for London and the S/E.

Did someone say there is a second band heading in for tonight or did i make that up?

Regards.

[The PIT]

Aye Snows coming down here so fast you can't see it.
