Mid Wales has had a fair covering of snow, roads are pretty bad and its around -10 here tonight, so will make the roads that bit more interesting tommorow.

Roads in the city are pretty fucked. Everyone is driving around at 2mph and the traffic tomorrow will be dreadful - guaranteed.
I've never in my life seen such heavy snow before in the UK before today in Birmingham!
