• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

With this morning's weather here in Calgary, snowing and temperature's dropping to -23 (-40 with wind factor), I sometimes miss the milder UK weather.

But recent years I've seen UK news more often, in Winter, talking snow and freezing temperatures. I recall talking years when talking snow in South Wales, like remember '76, a lot of snow, etc.

Is it an annual event now to have snowfall?

Get a photo of yourself in the snow and message it to me P.

I think it's more to do with the media wetting their pants every time there is a spinkling of snow anywhere. Even if it's a dusting on the surface. I think we had an inch (or so) of snow about 3 or 4 (?) years ago...but I can't remember the last time where we had proper, proper snow.

2010 was the last harsh winter around these parts.
 
Basically we get two types of weather.
That is cold feckin rain and warm feckin rain. Oh and a bit of sun in the 3rd wednesday of June, between 1 and 2pm. Hope that helps.🥴👍
