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!
