Default Heavy snow showers in S Wales

I too need to add an addendum...

Felly sgrifennodd Adrian D. Shaw :
Amazingly disappointing. Lots of snow showers, even in Aberystwyth where I
was this afternoon. It settled in town for short periods where it had been
blown into grass embankments. I returned home through moderate snow at 5:30
to find absolutely nothing lying here. The sun must have melted it all whilst
I was away; there was at least a little when I left at 1:00.

It's been pretty much dry since then. I'm looking forward to seeing what
tomorrow brings though.


At the time of writing that (ca 21:00) I hadn't looked outside for probably
about an hour. That was not sensible. My wife phoned from Aberystwyth to ask
on the conditions; it was already starting to settle on the roads there!

It turned out that I had to walk down to the village to meet her, and put
snow chains on the car to get the last mile and a quarter on minor, untreated
roads, back to the house.

Snowing at a steady rate, in fairly light wind. I think neither of us will
be going to work tomorrow if it keeps it up.
