This is the first time since the mid 80's that we've had overnight
snow, which has settled so for me it's a bit of a novelty. *Ah,
reading back I see that Sacha is to blame for this ;¬) * It almost
takes me back to winters of my yoof when this kind of whether was the
norm and for us kids, as eagerly awaited as Christmas.

7 - 8" here in S Wales overnight.

Much more of this global warming and we'll be snowed in until Easter.

My daughter reckons she has about 5" of snow over her Chepstow garden.

There is South Wales and there is South Wales, we are almost snow
free, we had around half an inch last night after around the same
yesterday mid morning, last night the temp went down to just 30f and
is now at 38f with the sun shining.
We are around 450 ft up, looking down on the Mumbles light house
(Swansea) where the weather has been almost tropical by the standards
of what everyone else is having.

.
Whilst a few miles away inlant they have quite a lot of snow, and
going east to Cardiff more heavy snow.

I was quite surprised that she had that much because she can see the
Severn (just) from her house. How far is Chepstow from you, David?
