Well, I got up at 0230hrs and had a look out of the window and there was nothing so went back to bed...in a 'snowless huff'.
Something made me at stir at 0430 (probably the inner excitement in me waiting to throw itself out and start making snow angels)
I looked out the window and it's now blanketed us here in West Pontnewydd.
It's blowing, it's snowing...and it aint going.....
Current temps 0.2C
Dew Point now -2.2C
Pressure 999.9
Humidity 83%
I'm expecting minimum 20 cm's of snow to fall here in Cwmbran today. I want 30 cm's but that's just being plain 'ole greedy....ah what the heck...now I want 40cm's of deep snow....
I promised my youngest daughter I would take her and the dogs out this morning for a run around....looking at the way it is now, I've had second thoughts. I think I might just cook us a nice greasy fry up and sit gazing out into the garden all day and twitching the curtains.
It's going to be one of those days when every weather forecast on BBC News 24 gets watched and I go 'shhhh' to anyone who dares speak when it's on.
This is the first time I've posted on here for a long long time and if you wonder why it's because I've been keeping a low profile. Take a look here http://www.hackergate.co.uk and you'll know why I've not wanted to attract any attention.
Anyway, it's nice to be back. Great to see Andy Music's excitement 'flourishing' around the regional threads ...... anyone know if Cwmbran Eira and Jay from Cardiff still about ?
Have a great day everyone and taker my advice, don't start snowball fights, they will always end up in tears....and bloodshot eyes.
