Where is the heavy stuff supposed to come from, still drizzle here. Radar doesnt show any increase in intensity. Can see freezing rain in cornwall tho

[Jayfromcardiff]

Quite impressive really, about 6 hours of continuous snow here (north Cardiff).

Another 10 to go.

[NAOwillgetyou]

Does anyone know if there is any snow in carmarthen supposed to be travelling there from bridgend early tomorrow morning

many thanks :wacko:

Please anyone I really need to know, anyone near Carmarthen, Cheers Guys :wacko:

[andy_leics22]

Yes, drifting too. I have an A/s level statistics exam tomorrow....

Now it's snowed in Cardiff the question on everyones lips here is.. WILL IT SNOW IN LEICESTER? :wacko:

[CardiffStorm]

It snowed in Cardiff???

Amazingly, yes!! And quite a lot. Its not been big chunks of snow more like drizzle snow but its persistent and really starting to build up now, I would say about 4cm here.

Everyone else got there first.

Just heard a thud and what i was sure was a snowball against my window, however nobody about , and on further inspection a large raft of snow has fallen from the roof.

Its always much better when your expectations are at there least.

Light to moderate now, cars getting up hill easier.

Who cares?!!

[Blackjack]

We're having rubbish ice crystals here. On the northern edge of it. It seems to fizzle out by the time it gets here.

Someone give me something positive

[pyrotech]

How was my forecast last night?

Having a bad night, smashed car going down a hill, doing 3mph, totally lost it, hit kerb and post.

Left wheel is turned slightly so nightmare to drive 5 miles back home.

Could be expensive.

[andy_leics22]

Who cares?!!

:wacko: :wacko:

[andymusic]

Who'd have thought it eh?! I have about two cms on the top of the mostly redundant sledge - ha - not redundant anymore !! Have to give it to the met office/bbc though - got it mostly spot on for us today although didn't see all the updates. Right - where's the best place for sledging in cardiff?

caerphilly mountain if you can get up there

[Elnonio]

only joking - want world peace and snow for everyone

more heavy snow to come in this front - be patient

Im in Gabalfa. Its not quite 2 inches yet here but I guess you are slighlty further North and probably higher up. I dont know exactly if those slight differences would make a huge difference.

It must be quite annoying for you up there as all the little estates are on hills arent they. I was up there during the last snowfall and everyone had parked on the road rather than at the back of their houeses in the the little side streets.

NEWS24 has a reporter in Devon of all places and they are really concerned about Exeter - but hardly a mention about Wales - more concerned with the English I'm afraid!

[pascalsbongo]

Still very windy here, lampost throwing a wobbler again though,swirling so fast past the lampost its hard to tell, think it could be sleet, not going out to check this time.

Sky tv not worked all evening, only have tinternet.

How is it down in Mumbles?? anyone local on??

[benb]

I'm 7 or 8 miles south and quite a bit higher than the town itself. The main(ish) road near my house is passable with care (atm), the lanes I walked along earlier were probably just about passable with a tractor or big 4x4.

I'm pretty sure it won't be half as bad in town, if you stick to the main roads. Altitude seems to be making a big difference. And, it will melt quick if the temps rise much more...

Check out BBC Travel, they've got reliable, current info.

[Blackjack]

Anyone up my way know of anything coming this way.

I feel like i haven't been invited to the party

It's snow on the sky dish. If you can reach with a brush make sure you get it off the bit that pokes out the front facing the dish. Will work then....

You should be getting a little more snow - heavier precip as the night wears on
