    Don't. The point is that Britain isn't Canada, Finland or Hokkaido, we're a fairly small and crowded island whose infrastructure isn't designed for this weather. And I feel that even somebody from Montreal or Helsinki would find the blizzard currently raging outside severe!

    And there would justifiably be some p****ed off voters if we spent millions on snowploughs etc that would be used every blue moon

  2. Bit puzzling, it's been snowing steadily here (Radyr) for about 5 hours now but not a lot has stuck. Look out the window and it's coming down fast although small(ish) flakes. Roads are slush more than anything, with a distinct greyish look about them.

    I agree, it seems to be snowing and thawing at the same time which really weird!! tease.gif

  3. dilemma

    got a bad feeling about this weather, and I have no ale in the house, and Asda is 3 quarters of a mile away.

    oh well

    edit - Sod it. gave up after 2 hundred yards. coffee will do for tonight. I'll see if I'm feeling more up for it tomorrow. probably all be gone by then.

    Surely the whole point of being on this forum and having some kind of idea what weather is on the way is to make sure that you don't end up running out of beer at the wrong time!?!?! tease.gif

  4. Bit disappointed by the lack of welcome in the hillsides (or the Welsh forum)...

    Anyway, I'm off home tomorrow, so I wish you a snowy winter next year :)

    Emma - it's not you, its the weather - usually you would be welcomed with open arms and force fed Welsh cakes until you could pronounce Llanelli without spitting on everyone within a 5 mile radius. But mother nature has found it fit this year to disappoint us at every turn and the forum has been very quiet of late! Hope your holiday was good - and that you had a better welcome from the 'actual' locals. xx

  5. Fair enough. I would also rate their map with the mostly identical shades of blue as being possibly the most pointless waste of pixels on the web (IMO)! Raining in Cardiff, and feeling milder. All the pretty snow washed away. Never mind - I'm going with netweather's 60% chance of snow on Wednesday - even though they reckoned there was an 8% chance of snow today and it snowed most of the day ;)

  6. A bit unfair on the BBC I think - they forecast on Tuesday evening that a front would come in and that there would be snow on its leading edge. That was more or less what happened. I was surprised that they forecasted it so early at the time but I think they were more or less spot on. It's easy to blame the forecaster when you don't get the weather you want! And no, I am not a weather person and I don't work for the Beeb!!
