Here I think we are gonna manage the 30cms forecast easy

[worldairgroup]

should be still snowing late morning I think - NEWS 24 couldn't give a monkeys about us - Derek's not that bothered either - NEWS 24 did also show some additional snow coming down off of the north eastern showers later today.

If you look at the current meto radar I'd say we were at the centre of it all at the mo!!!!!!!!!

agreed LOL!! yes A470 is a right mess andy! still no gritters or ploughs! lets hope this stays with us! no work for me tomorrow! cant see me getting into office or going on flights coming to think about it.

bridgend close to sea levl so I recon we could have 10 cm if we are lucky

[andymusic]

better to stay safe and warm at home - no chance of a nasty accident - writing off the car - breaking an arm or a leg etc etc

[alijoe]

looking good for your area in about 45 minutes

ut owww.... another excuse for me to have to stay up even later then.... need the matchsticks for us all inthe morning. lol

Ok... excited again.

[andymusic]

hope I don't offend anyone - but some of these 4 x 4 drivers think they are immortal in this weather but when we had the snow back in Feb - some 4x4 driver tried the Griag hill here in Ponty and ended up shearing off his axle

god no! i deal with that every week! nice to have a day off - december was so so busy for us!

[alijoe]

Beasts???????????? you got more coming I think - new low centre pushing up from the south should get things going again for you shortly

I am so Excited...... I could...... crush a GRAPE. Thanks again for your advice,, will wait with anticipation. May regret it in the morning, but so will everone else. lol

the only transport that will be dashing up our single track country lane will be the farmer in the morning in his tractor to feed the sheep and cows in the field next door to us

[djwayne]

looks like the wind has picked up really blowing it down now

[andymusic]

carries on like this and they'll be posting avalanche warnings for round here

[Jayfromcardiff]

I doubt i will get 30cm here, maybe 10cm.

ha,,,, hope it misses the farmer and sheep on the tractor.... well. not sheep on the tractor but you know what i mean.

[andymusic]

I suppose we already had a head start as well from this mornings snow

This cold spell doesn't seem to have an end - we'll all start suffering snow fatigue - bit like at xmas with over indulgence on turkey!!!!

[bennytes]

full on blizzard conditions now here

i have lived here for 15 years, and this is the FIRST time i have seen drifting snow outside my front window.

[andymusic]

GFS 00z models will be out shortly (start at 3.30am) lets see how much longer this snow will really last - GFS has been exactly right with the snow for us - and a lot of people including the pro forecasters got it totally wrong it seems

[djwayne]

snow has gone very fine here blowing almost horizontal at times think it will lighten for a while then the next line of heavu stuff will move in.

[alijoe]

get used to it - if Joe B on accuweather is right and I believe him - the solar influence on the earth is dropping over the coming couple of decades and so these winters like this could well become the norm just like the 70s - he also don't believe much in global warming and laughs to himself when the governments of the world think they can control the temperature of the earth
