Yes. I was a Met Office observer at Cardiff Airport (Rhoose) in Jan 82
and the snow started just before the beginning of my night shift at
2100 on the Thursday and did not cease until mid-afternoon on the
Saturday, most of it moderate or heavy and with an easterly gale and a
temperature well below zero.
Cardiff was almost cut off, and in the SW Wales Valleys where
conditions were even worse, most home-owners were trapped in their
houses as the snow had drifted up to the bedroom windows.
My car was trapped at the airport for over a week as the snow was so
deep but fortunately walking to work was not too bad because I only
lived a mile away. The difficult thing was trying to avoid the deep
level snow which was waist high and difficult to get out of if you
stepped onto it by mistake.
The amazing thing was how close the warm air came to the South Wales
coast, as at one time we had minus 3C with a 30 knot northeasterly,
while Chivenor had a 20 knot southwesterly and a temperature of plus
6C. Talk about convergence....
