Tops of the surrounding mountains here in Maesteg (200 to 400m) were covered with snow this morning, now melted in the sunshine. Just been for a quick journey to the higher elevations in the surrounding valleys, e.g. Croeserw, Blaengwynfi, Abergwynfi - to the summit of the Bwlch mountain at 754m. Snow is knee high there, and roads are only just passable and are additionally very icy. Strong wind whipping up lying snow. Actually jumped onto the grass, not realising how deep the snow was, and it came knee high. A winter wonderland most certainly !!!!

(Derek was in Canada last week).

Heavy rain. No wind :shock: :roll:

3 more major storms overnight.. The worst being at around midnight - I've never seen anything like it before. The wind was howling, the hail was sweeping across the street, absolutely battering everything. Thunder was booming and lightning went awol.

More flahes of lightning and rumbles of thunder, no rain yet.

Yet another truly amazing and spectacular performance by Mother Nature... Deafening claps of thunder, countless flashes of lightning - flickering lights. Absolutely torrential hail!! Car alarms were going mad. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

A fantastic storm here, lasting 20 minutes... Torrential rain and massive hailstones, a real deluge. Several flashes of lightning and almighty claps of thunder. Electricity was going awol!
