Everybody out with their shovels and spades this morning - nothing like adversity to bring out the best in people, also sometimes it seems to bring out the worst as well!!

That patio table and chairs after lasts night's snowfall. The "hump" is still just there so another night like last night could see it levelled off.

Wow Bellringer! I've got about six inches on my garden furniture, you must have nearly a foot! Those chairs look really inviting with those thick "cushions" on them.

Just stuck an old 12" ruler into the snow on the table and it records about 11". It isn't all from last night though.

Dwsi. I'm in Gyffin and no, we have had no post this week but having seen the thread "Royal Mail" we weren't expecting any perhaps. We had a delivery from Tesco Direct yesterday although in normal circumstances that should have arrived last Friday.

Be careful of your neighbours Paddy.

Is this an indoor or outdoor one?

Does anyone know if the Conwy Christmas Eve parade etc will be happening this year? I've heard of councils cancelling outdoor celebrations in other parks of the country for safety reasons and was wondering if the same would be true here.

I'm sorry to say that the Conwy Chrsitmas Eve Parade has been cancelled.   :( :(

I had a phone call earlier form the Mayor Cllr Vicky MacDonald, who after visiting the sites with the Police and the Safety Officer, has been advised to cancel the event.

The have made the decision with a heavy heart because the know how much people look forward to the event and the fact that a lot of work has already be performed in the organisation of the event.


The Boxing Day Dip in Deganwy has also be cancelled, on the advice from the RNLI, due to the extremely low water temperatures.

I drove through Conwy this afternoon and the paths are treachorous, but so are the ice and snow on the roofs and guttering. Some of the icicles now forming do look very large and potentially unsafe.

Yes, I just saw the signs placed around Conwy saying the event has been cancelled. Now I have to break the news to my nephew who was so looking forward to it. But better safe than sorry.

I would suggest that the RNLI become a little more informed:

Never let the facts get in the way of weather related hysteria, Ian!

Jason I am most concerned that as an elected councillor, you confine your driving to the road... and not the paths!
Set an example man.
