Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion

[RhysWales]

Little confused. Light snow that's settling ever so gently, but radar looks clear

[Sky Full]

Lovely crisp winters morning here; clear blue skies tinged with a few pink contrails; no wind, hard frost.  Sun has just risen.  No sign of snow here but I can see the snow clouds on the far eastern horizon - send some my way for later please!!   Hope everyone gets a decent covering by tomorrow night but Cardiff / Newport and the valleys looks like the sweet spot ATM.

just got stuck - couldn't get cars out for 3 weeks - and had to sledge the xmas dinner in from the main road - with my dad - who god bless his soul died last year in September from motor neurone disease and I said my last goodbyes to him at his funeral in October - a great bluebirds fan and he loved his football too - I love you dad RIP

RIP Andy’s dad .

I’m sure he would be happy that Cardiff should wupp Swansea’s bottom in the snow depth game .

BBC showed some hefty snow coming later this evening, not sure if it'll happen.

[Simon SWales]

 Light show showing on radar

[Bafan]

Snowing in Tredegar, coming down heavier than I would expect from looking at the radar. Currently -6c (might be a tad colder but my thermometer isn't in the best place). Nice drive this morning....Treforest first, then on to Newport, gonna be fun in this weather.

too right - my brother is a big part of the stadium down there too, he works there and has lots of responsibility for tickets etc Christopher martin - he just put a plaque on the memory wall for dad - which I've gotta go and see - dad would watch one match or three in one day on the tv then listen on radio wales or another radio station at the same time to more footy and then be reading about it in a newspaper - he loved his footy, I bet they'll be letting him watch as much footy as he wants now up in heaven - I hope so anyway - he's always in my thoughts now - he was a rock and steady man - 40 years a bricklayer - and then a taxi driver cause the winters got too bad for him before he finally earned his retirement - but this bloody disease just took all his dignity - luckily god took him away from us before he ended up in a wheel chair with no movement at all sucking all his meals up through a straw

Edit - snowing really heavily now

 

sorry to be so depressive about my dad - but I loved him - and my mam is taking it bad too - only man she loved for 52 years - the song "Dance with my father again" Luther Vandross is very appropriate - just sends me over the edge - sorry folks i'll try not to mention it again - and get back to the weather - which is what we are here for

[Pembroke Dangler]

Lake effect streamer of the Bristol Channel it’s coming a bit heavier here now in loughor Swansea 

[freeze for all]

Weather warning for yesterday and saw 1 shower, no weather warning today and been snowing longer than yesterday already lol. The weather makes fools of these forecasters at times lol

It is so difficult to lose a parent, Andy. So please don't apologise for being upset or talking about him. I don't believe it's something we ever really get over. We just learn to cope better with each day that passes by.

My dad died in 2012 and last February we lost my Mum suddently too.

I like to think they're up there watching down on us and never far away.

PS That Luther song kills me too and also Supermarket Flowers, Ed Sheeran.

Right, 1 more sleep until Snowmageddon.

[Blackjack]
