The weather people are worried in case it really does snow and they are accused of not forecasting it. I am not convinced it will snow, not heavilly anyway. Weatherman's Hype smile

Good morning all.
Just been outside, Bargoed is like a winter wonderland this morning! Time to dig the Fourtrak out and head to the flatlands of Cardiff for work!
There is only about 1 to 2 inch here now but it's coming down heavy and blowing about, this could be an interesting day!

Great. The Wales traffic cams are on form again. Lots are still out, wonder when they will work, only been a few years.

M4 shut at Sarn says the warning triangle.

Edit. Damn it. I have been using the BBC site for a few years as I could not get the traffic-wales site to work. Now the latter is working and so are the camera's banghead

That is a truly awesome picture. It looks like a circa 1980's advert for Porsche. Love it !

Well that was a surprise didn't think Swansea was going to get any more snow, anyone know what it's like in the Gorseinon and Forestfach area?

I got into work before it was heavy just need to know if it's ok to get home later or book into a hotel in SA1 tonight?

Not much help, I know, but Sketty was covered in 2" this morning at 7am which has now mostly melted on the roads. Probably the same on the main roads up to Gorseinon?
