Default Significant snowfall in S Wales

Following a line of prolonged showers along the S Wales fringe we have a
light dusting here on the coast, but the MIL who is 1000' up north of
Newport reports a good four inches on cars and walls. The M4 has had one
lane shut all morning.

Looks like the tail end of the cold spell, but a welcome change from 'at
least it will be mild'.

Cheers

James

Mostly slushy snow here in Port Talbot but still a nice covering. If
things freeze up tonight it could get interesting...

We had an "interesting" journey from Cardiff to Carmarthen last night around
11 pm. Several heavy showers of sleet, snow and hail, which appeared to be
sticking, at least temporarily. What was worrying at the time was the speed
with which the showers could leave a substantial covering on previously
clear roads. Visions of being stranded in the wilds of Port Talbot.

Well almost - the M4 was closed a while later!
