Just been woken upby house alarm going off
-
My last one before I go to bed. Since I've just enjoyed a big glass of Baileys, I'm not planning on work tomorrow
-
One hour later one hour ago
-
It's building nicely here 2 hours ago
-
Tumping it down now.
-
I have a hedgehog cam in my garden and have had to turn it off otherwise I'll be bombarded with images all night. I have set it to take photos at 10 minute intervals.

My husband asked me to pick him up from the bottom of the hill as he's leaving his car down there. Nothing much was happening, so I went to get him, 10 minutes later everything outside my house is covered.

Very gentle at the moment.
-
It's reached me now. Very fine at the moment.

It's not snowing in my garden at all, but looking out my front windows I can see the hills on the other side of Caerphilly disappearing fast. It's coming at me like The Fog
-
I'm home in Caerphilly now. I've been out to put lots of bird seed and suet balls for the birds and my hands are so painful from the cold. The clouds seem high but the wind is very chilly. I overheard a guy in work who said the snow will come after dark. I'm new but as far as I've been told, he's the one who decides when the gritters and snow ploughs go out

Hello everyone, I'm de-lurking for this one. I missed last March's snow as I was on hols in Vietnam, but I'm avidly watching this thread for this one. I've put my leave card on my line manager's desk for Friday and worked an extra hour today so I can go home earlier tomorrow. I'll be reporting from Caerphilly (and maybe Pontypridd town centre as I work there now)

I'm just back from Heathrow last night. We used Purple Parking Valet parking. I agree it's highway robbery there. Since we drove up for a 9am flight on a Thursday morning, we didn't want to faff around with shuttles. We missed the parking area and had to exit and go around again, but drop off was easy. Getting back we had to wait about 10 minutes as the cars hadn't arrived. Other than that, it was easy enough there.

I just went to throw some seeds out for the birds and it bounced off the snow drifts!! It sounds like freezing rain here Front and back of my house.

Conservatory watch indicates that blocking the gap in the ceiling with 2 towels makes no difference. I've also got another 3 leaks. A bit of the rubber has come away from the seal and there's at least an inch deep extending in a 6 inch radius from it. I dread to think how much snow I'll have inside tomorrow morning. I've taken all cushions and tables out (but not the beer). My garden varies from nothing on the patios to knee-high drifts by the walls.
-
Still nothing on my cars and block driveways/patio. Grass is another matter.
-
It's weird looking at the traffic flows on google maps. Practically every road is coloured orange.
-
It doesn’t look a lot here in Caerphilly. My driveway is still clear but the drift the other side of the road has lost the kerb.
-
It’s snowing like a good ‘un ...................... in my conservatory ? It must be hitting a sweet spot and so getting in. If I hadn’t sent my husband to the garage to bring in more beer supplies (the door was starting to be covered by drift), he wouldn’t have gone in there to keep the beer cold and so we wouldn’t have spotted it. Beer = good

My young friend has not long got to work in Bristol and after me nagging her to get home (to Pontypridd), she says her boss said "nah, you'll be fine". I told her to show him the red alert and walk out.
-
My block driveway is empty of snow apart from in the joints. All the snow is being swept up into little whirlwinds and blowing down the drive to pile up across the other side of the road. The drift there is over the kerb. My husband's office is shutting at 10 and I can't believe how many of my friends have gone to work.
-
I kept waking all night wanting to look out the window. I resisted. The wind was very strong and blustery and that's before Emma's arrival. I can see blustery flakes on my hedgehog camera (I don't want to get up yet)
-
My hairdresser wanted to change my appointment to tomorrow at 4pm as I was his only client for the day. Haha, no chance, I said and so he had to cycle down to Whitchurch from Ponty and back again just for me. He was muttering and mumbling about how this country can't cope with a bit of snow and it's not going to come to anything. I tried to tell him it could be serious but he wouldn't listen.
-
It’s snowing and looking like sticking in St Mellons. The forecasts I’m looking at are implying the snow will arrive earlier than I thought tomorrow. I was hoping it would arrive in Cardiff at about 3pm so I could get home safely and enjoy the show. Now it’s looking like arriving in the morning. Should I just book leave and stay in bed?
