It's snowing

Frenzy · 17 Jan 2013 at 15:15

As usual I'll get all excited then on the day I'll see less than a millimeter and it will rain soon after. The rain will then freeze and it'll be icy :<

I haven't seen decent thick snow since I was a child! (in coventry)

Yellow snow warning has been extended to Saturday and Sunday now whereas previously, that was just for Ice.

(there's the smallest bit coming down).

Been so cold most the snow from earlier in the week hasn't gone yet, the school I lock up has loads of it still in the fields!

Should be alright. East of the pennines won't be that badly affected but they will be loads of idiots (as usual) who will crap themselves at the first sign of a snow flake and proceed to hog the middle and outside lanes doing 50mph.

What you will probably need are snow chains, a plough or a team of huskies

To be fair, you're in the Red Zone regardless of snow forecast if you live in Ystrad Mynach.
