M4 between Newport and Cardiff was fine for me - the grit did its job and 2 lanes were totally snow free (at 8am), but speeds were about 30-40mph due to over-cautious morons 
Also the A470 northbound was fine until Treforest where it went down to one lane.
I'm near Pontypridd and I can see the A470 from my office window. There are hardly any cars on it now and speeds are no more than 15mph...

Just started to snow again and heavy tried to get to work this morning and the roads were almost unpassable around blackwood even the bypass's were covered, really bad job done by the council to clear the roads. got to king davids tyres and heared that watsvile is blocked where i work so turned back and went home, unfortutly 2 lorry got stuck and blocked the road so took 1.5 hrs to cover 1.5 miles wished i stayed in bed.
This is a handy little web page. Shows the rain/snow as it's happening....

Mountain Rd blocked, Nantgarw Hill closed. Just cleared the drive of about 18cm of snow and it's just started coming down in buckets again. Don't know what the main arteries are like but even main roads are struggling.
Seriously, it's turning into a blizzard.

Parked up in work near Nantgarw this morning and within 20 mins the car was engulfed. Then got told to go home and had to clear it all over again. Main roads in Cardiff seem to alternate between being deserted and gridlocked, it's getting slushy now so very difficult to drive on.
Also as I type another big load coming down in the bay, think I might have to bail on my paintballing tomorrow
not going to risk Pentyrch if this lot is going to freeze overnight.
