Not forcast. Where we live is the warmest place in mainland UK. (Ignore the lot in Cornwall, it is consistantly warmer here, it is tourist advertising to get people to go to Cornwall...) I think it has only snowed a handful of times in the last 10 years and rarely sticks. However, we could drive 5 miles up the road into the mountains and it will be a foot deep. So I guess, I'll have to check if it has snowed up there... Sparky wife, where are you??

Just been over some people from Pontypool's house for a bbq and they had a text from home saying it was snowing quite heavy...

Take a ride to the valleys with a sledge and she might just get to play in some

Hi SW - I called and you came. I guess it's not snowing up with you then, so no sledging today...

Have fun at the inlaws.

Hi Lau - Have you eaten all your egg yet?

Blackwood was so high above sea level we had fab snow - people in work in Cardiff would never believe me when I said I couldn't get in to work.... We lived right at the top of a mountain and when it snowed it SNOWED!!!

LOL, must have passed you on the road - I lived in Cardiff and worked in Blackwood. Sometimes I would be the only one at work cos the main road would be cleared, but the people on the side roads would be snowed in. My boss wasn't happy.....

I lived in Highfields right at the top.......... No chance of getting in, like you say if you could make it to the main road you were fine!! Saw so many bumped and abandoned cars when the snow cleared where people had tried to get out...

I worked on Dumballs Road....
