WOw i cant see very far!

Lol.....you're gonna get snowed in where you are.

[Matt00011]

Here in Cardiff ( ely / st fagans) area its sticking nicely on the roads and grass easily so looks like a really good night. Might have got this forecast right ( not like sundays!)

You had it spot on my friend. Well done!

[andymusic]

Totally - and the road was closed before it started snowing - everything's getting a mega top up!

[Icequeen]

Am I a bad mother? Live on a hill and cars really slip and slide trying to get up here so I won't let my kids out untill the traffic calms down a bit. I think it's to dangerous

[nomad098]

light wet snow blowing in the wind here

[Wales123098]

Never seen it like this, wow. Just recorded a wind of 56mph here.

[Blackjack]

Light snow justed started in Merthyr

nope - make sure it's safe 1st - drivers cannot stop their cars sliding in this icy weather and that leads to very dangerous situations

really piling up here - blowing a gale as well

Oh well - all the doom and gloom (it's gonna be sleet/rain) merchants have been silenced today - they've just been used to quoting that stupid phrase a "even larger teapot" this ain't a even larger teapot or may be it's the new modern winters we'll be having from now on - who knows - but well done all of us who called this one right!

well I'm very happy for all of you down south! I hope we get some up in Mid Wales, although I doubt we'll get it as bad as you lot! (leave some for us won't you!?)

Enjoy it if you can. Keep safe!

Mega blizzard conditions here now and alot of drifting. there are places where the snow is sticking and piling up so fast then blowing to the wall its unbelievable.

[A-Dizzle]

Just starting here now

[Stevetynant]

Nothing happening in Newport as we speak - but 16:30 I'm off home to the Rhymney Valley then down to Cardiff for the night - want it to snow- but not heavy until I can get back into the Valleys before midnight - perhaps not the smartest thing I'll ever do but fingers crossed

[mrmonopoly]

Just starting here now

Easing off here now, and turning to wetish snow. Still tho had a nice dusting from this beast. Mountains vanished for a time.

Notice how we use to see lots of people using the even larger teapot , have stopped ,also article in newspaper this morning saying that top scientists are saying the next 10 yrs are going to get colder , before gw starts again what a load of bulls- - - -.

[mrmonopoly]

I think they heaviest stuff has passed here for the moment lets hope the rest out in channel stays as snow. The radar has started to turn it more sleety here but its still lightly snowing.

[DeepSnow]

Very heavy snow for past hour or so, blizzard! maybe as much as an inch already or near enough!!

I looked like a snowman by the time i got home from school

Hi all still going good guns here but been looking at radar and it seems to be pushing through very fast, on news weather they say all night until morn but how can it with this radar? is it going to stall anyone able to give a answer?

Whereabouts are you? There are a few flakes blowing around here in Bassaleg. Hopefully it's just getting started. Looks like it's petering out a bit on the NW radar though- really hope not.

Edit- Just going heavy now, small flakes though at the moment being blown about a bit.
