Hi everyone, I've just been noticing that there are one or two of you who haven't put your location in your

avatar. If you'd kindly do this for us please, when you have five minutes, it will help the other members

to recognise where you are

Many thanks

ha funny..... good old M |& S

I think we could show off to Canada and the artic with what we've got laying on the ground in south wales

[Cymro]

Is the band going to be more intense here too just went out for a walk snowing heavy but fine flakes accumilating yes but i would like something heavier to be onest this isnt M and S snow here yet although we have a deep covering this is currently Morrisons Snow yanno? But come and go somethings are good somethings are bad.

Dwi'n ffan o dywydd hafol fyd rhaid cyfafedd

Im a fan of Summer weather too must admit.

Crikey - this snow front seems to be never ending - it looks a bit like a magic trick - just keeps coming - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Icequeen]

yep

even though I live in a part of Swansea that someone activated the snow sheild at 5pm. I will hunt them down like dogs!!!! Seriously though it just doesn't "feel" like snow now

[pascalsbongo]

Is it going to hit Swansea hard? I still live in hope!!!

Ice queen, where are you in swansea??

Its already heavy here (near sketty primary school), and for the next hour maybe the radar is showing increasing precipitation, rather like earlier on about 7pm.

I think this will white out the roads good and proper up here,and at this time of night with hardly anyone using the roads it could well accumulate,no sign of a gritter at all, but not sure how low this will go.

Think it may well be blizzards shortly.

Dont you just love the atlantic systems.

It's really piling up here - if the thaw doesn't come - I'll be a bit concerned that's for sure - Alex Deakin looked a little unsure when he said temps would rise starting friday - if this keeps happening anything coming from the atlantic will turn into snow - it'll be over my head and I'm over 6ft tall - very worrying!

[mickeyflyn]

looks like there is a band of heavier stuff building and heading our way in the next hour or so, i`m amazed at the quality of the snow we have here at the moment. i think by daylight its going to be a winter wonderland all over again.

Whats the level snow depths like now guys? I told my uncle in Cwmdare that he would be snowed in tomorrow morning, he is at the top of the hill at roughly 200m ASL so I think I will be right

winter snow drift land more like it

[Cymro]

The level of excitement in here is enough to send us into a heatwave haha

I live in morriston. I have been Reading your post and sulking patchy dusting here. Was really bad before nightfall but since nothing to speak of

[andymusic]

you gotta laugh - Alex Deakin - News24 - just said snow is easing - he's lying - not in wales it ain't

[mickeyflyn]

4-5 inches here no drifting as not much wind

[pascalsbongo]

Crikey - this snow front seems to be never ending - it looks a bit like a magic trick - just keeps coming - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If only we could install a giant pivot point somewhere off the south west coast,it would never end.

At what point though do you say enough is enough??

2foot? 4 foot?? 6foot??

I was thinking of packing some snow up and sending it to the south east ,seeing as they are missing out BIGTIME.

All the lamposts are having a really good time,really getting in the party mood at the moment.

Late night for me as there is no way i can get to work now !!!

Snow day, snow day !!

I can never remember a snow event with such local variation. For example here in Llangewydd court bridgend we have near 4 and half inches of level snow. Whereas down the road literally 2 miles in aberkenfig they have a covering of slush, similarly Llantwit Major has virtually nothing and that is not too far away either. Yet porthcawl which is on the coast has a fine covering. Very very marginal stuff

Thats quite hard to comprehend, as it is fairly lashing it down here, and the radar shows it all over really??

How high up are you there??

I guess im no more than 3 miles as the crow flies ?????
