Snowing in Bridgend, hasn't stuck yet though. Been to Neath and Ebbw Vale, both had snow and stuck a little.

We should get some but it will be tonight. The problem we have is that the cold east wind meets the warm west wind and unless its moving fast enough by the time it gets here its rain

There is the odd flurry I've noticed but we should have at least a sprinkle for tomorrow.

In a previous life I repaired cleaning machines for Tesco stores and once visiting Merthyr I went in for an hour and came out to a good couple of inches on the van. Hell of a long time to get back to Oxfordshire that day!

just starting to snow in milford, ,right seeing as we are so good at debating the pros and cons of various modifications we should now decide the favorite sledge material,i will propose that the doubled up sheet of damp proof membrane is the best for thick snow conditions,were as the metal tray is better for icy conditions.discuss.

you cannot beat polished tubular sections for a slay
plastic DPC does not keep your *** from getting sliced up if there is glass or in this day and age needles but for ice or snow the plastic flat bottom ones work a treat to
i must have hit about 40mph down the skateboard park just now

tubular steel does have its fans but unless the snow is thick and well compacted you do tend to get the old plough problem,*** slice can be avoided by the longjohn and double jean modification.
