Snow

"Snow causes widespread disruption
Snow has fallen across large parts of Wales making travel conditions treacherous in many places and closing more than 700 schools.

The Met Office issued a severe weather warning, saying some areas eventually could have up to 15cm (6in) of snow.

There was disruption to bus and train services and the temporary closure of Cardiff airport's runway, delaying Wales rugby fans' flights to Edinburgh.

Many roads have been closed amid warnings not to drive unless essential."

This is the latest news showing on the BBC wales news bit. Below is the information from the medical school:

Dear All Students,

Tonight and tomorrow have been forecast as heavy snow, please can you make arrangements to ensure you get to the OSCE exam on time, if you arrive later than the time you have been told to arrive then you may not be allowed to sit the exam

Basically, if it snows so badly that you can't move your car at all (it almost was on all the side streets in Cardiff at 0800 this morning) it's your fault that you have to resit the entire year having failed the OSCE for non-attendance. I like the way they think.

The snow has covered South Wales. The streets are no longer safe- watch out for drive-by snowballing by 4th year medics who have now finished their exams. Earlier I made a snowlady. I'm sure there will be a picture of her soon, I can't work the camera.

Obviously what they're trying to do is to kill off all the upcoming medics in the snow.
Poor dears!
If revision is still on, hope its going well.
