snow watch 2024...

[bluemoon]

supposed to be some heavy snow hitting the uk in the next 8-10 days... scotland and the north obviously hit worst, but its said to not miss out pretty much all over the uk ?

going to be some game disruption for sure...

anyone else hearing whats coming

Middle of next week apparently, the North and Scotland first followed by some snow in the South.

As a sceptic, I'll believe it when it happens, as we've had forecasts of heavy snow before that have never materialised.

The fact that we've had a dusting a couple of days ago does auger well for more snow the deeper into winter we go.

Auger WELL????? Snow is the last thing we want, horrible stuff!

The uk media do love a snow scare, and to be honest the midlands upwards get a fair share every winter.
We won’t be affected (as in south wales), we never are and that beast from the east back in 2018 was a complete freak of nature.
I’d imagine it’ll affect a lot of games around the country but isn’t this the case every season this time of the year?

They are the modern equivalent of five loaves and two fishes.

Like Marmite I suppose, you either love it or hate it.

Great for a day or two but then just annoying as unlike countries that are used to it, everything here just grinds to a holt when the roads cannot be cleared of it

[splott parker]

Would be great if it snowed on Christmas Eve, lovely and white on Christmas Day, all gone by Boxing Day morning for the football.

Mate I’ve been lucky to live & travel globally and this is an exaggeration (urban myth). The biggest single difference is the use of winter tyres.

We don’t have snow ploughs here though…..

Imagine the outcry from NorthCardiffBlue if the Senedd spent millions on snow ploughs that were used once every ten years. He’d go deeply drippy!

Just drove through. No snow but the police were cleaning up after an accident.

The Beast from the East was hardly a freak of nature considering we had a foot of snow only 8 years earlier in December 2010 that lasted well beyond Christmas Day. It tends to be cyclical even allowing for Climate Change so it wouldn't be a complete surprise if we had a few bad winters now and again.

Oh I’m not sure about that, the beast caused mayhem for about a week and to me was a complete freak. Yes I remember that one in 2010 but from memory that only caused minor disruption for a day or two but realistically when else have we (and I’m saying cardiffians) had significant chaos snowfall as the media portray in the last 30 odd years? It’s very few and far between.
We just don’t get the snow anywhere near as bad as other parts of the uk.

My parents still go on about a huge dollop back in the early 80’s however (I was just a toddler so have no clue) but they say they were digging themselves out the house it was that bad.
I wonder how the modern day wallflowers would deal with that scenario, it would be like Armageddon!

Think it was 82/83, like a dream for a teenager…..beast from the east actually hit very beginning of March I think so was quite late

New York gets an average of 30 inches of snow a year. It hasn't snowed more than an inch here in over 700 days. The last significant snowfall I can remember was in February 2021.

It was fecking cold in NYC early February last year. It shrank by bladder and I actually pissed myself travelling from Midtown to SoHo.

I flew into Newark maybe 6 or 7 years ago and the flight follows the Hudson for the last hour or so. It was frozen over most of the way, big river to freeze.

Yep, seems like we haven’t had proper snow in about 2 years.

Snow is for kids it completely screws the country up and creates havoc for the emergency services , travel

It could be worse, we could be scheduled to play Derby!
