High high high high high ---------------------- sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Joe B's latest puts further nails in this winter's coffin - next two weeks - NO COLD (that's snow folks) For UK/Ireland

not to say end of feb into march won't herald something - but by then the sun will be making a come back and the roof of my convertible will be coming down

[DeepSnow]

We do have earthquakes in S Wales and had one a few years ago if I remember - can't remember the details but the wife quite regularly tells the tale of me running around the house in my underpants with a baseball bat in the dark as it woke us up and I thought we had someone breaking and entering - I'll do a bit of googling and get some details

Here you go

Looking at the extended forecasts on my weather reports, looks like a nice stint of cold weather from early hours Thursday morning for around a week. Reports do not go any longer than that but lets hope February is F F F FREEZING !!!

Anyone got any ides what is on the cards for February for S. Wales ?

[andymusic]

I'm sure someone is playing a little joke on us right now - who has stuck a rubber band through the uk and tied the other end to the middle of the blasted high pressure? come on - own up - it's not funny anymore!

here's a very very very small glimmer of hope for tomorrow night - no doubt those flakes of snow are destined for the Beacons and Snowdonia!

Edited January 25, 2011 by andymusic

[andymusic]

Very dark clouds on the horizon as the easterly/north easterly winds start really picking up now - still looking like rain for the minute - but may change to sleet or snow as the colder winds and uppers kick in!

[Cymro]

Its definetly a raw feeling day today.

[Marcus_surfer]

Hello 4C here at the moment, with a near gale force breeze! Feels bitterly cold!

winds defo have a stronger bite to them today - London will defo have some slight sleet/snow chances - At the moment here there may be the odd flake falling in the wind right now

[Snowyowl9]

Coldest few days of this year(Jan)thats for sure just the freezing mark here with odd light snow grains.

The high is so close but this is the strongest E/NE winds all winter and feeling bitter.
