  1. On the edge of the current 'reverse cheshire streamer!' (sadly) Tegeingl / Fflint way seems to be getting hit by a fair bit or snow
  2. back in the 1960s... Llanarmon way was still unpaved road can you believe!
  3. Eira mân / Fine Snow Melting on roofs though... maybe I just need better insulation!
  4. Southern Slopes of the Berwyn Mountain range got pretty pasted today for many hours .....also around Caernarfon upto Caergybi/Ynys Mon - mainly Southern side of Anglesey got some pretty deep snow considering their height above sea level About 5-6 inches on hills overlooking Rhuthun....but must be deeper over hills towards Bala/Llanfyllin Some fine pibonwy/ icicles forming here at the minute
  5. Was little snow falling East of Wrexham and Chester...much snow west of that though as hills rise
  6. Nice pics NWales A bad blizzard just hit here now....power is flickering, had no internet all morning so hope it doesnt go again! The snow is just at an almost sheer 90 degree angle...big juicy flakes....this is great weather for building drifts (though snow not dry enough to blow really) on exposed ridges if anyone wants to risks photographing them Edit: 1000 ft asl/ 300m ish....seems yet again to be magic mark where snow is sticking to most surfaces....struggling to resettle below to be honest
  7. Some farmers hadnt bothered to bring in the lambs...had to pick some out of a drift they seem to get stuck in Atrocious conditions for April above 1000 feet (305m) in Rhufoniog (cantref : conwy/denbighsire border) 4-5 inches @200m 5-6inches @250m ish At 300 -360m (tried to reach 420m summit but failed hah) on flat ground it was between 6-8 inches Its the Drifting thats the worse thing in the strong winds While the main roads are passable and back roads below 1100 feet seemed slushy......above this height there was iced snow (freezing level?) Many drifts onto higher roads, as high as the 3-4 ft hedges they pour from...one point i was walking as high as them LOL! Saw some fairly big drifts of between 8-10ft I would guess, almost blocking roads. I tried to reach the near 420m hill summit but a blizzard hit and i was plastered with an inch of snow so i gave up and retreated at about 360m i reckon.....god knows how deep it is up on the Berwyns above 500m lol likea different world to my increasingly slushy abode at 210m Met office said Little, if any, snow is expected to accumulate on roads and pavements below 200m. but 3 inches of snow at 140m Still snowing heavily, wet socks when i slipped into a slush pool!
  8. feb1991blizzard thats a lot of multiple posts! good night/ nos da covering of snow in NE wales/cymru btw
  9. Lluwchwynt/ Blizzard conditions Mae 'na tua dwy fodfedd o eira yma @800 troedfedd There are approx. 2 inches of snow here @ 800 ft
  10. Wow totally different world...I am 1500 ft asl North East Wales...and not had any sleet for months
  11. This upper air temperature boundary is so fine it seems....I am nearly 1500ft asl...not seen a hint of sleet since early december
  12. Tymheredd / Temperature: -8.4C :smilz38:
  13. an easterly wind can cause snow laden trough formation as its becomes unstable from hitting the eastern wales hills
  14. Bois bach!...Managed to reach -2 C max today brrr....even with stronger sun..if we could just get some snow...sun getting stronger by the day rwan. Temp at 18:00 = -5C
  15. Ye I think saying "east wales" got snow when most of the NE saw nothing is a little bit genrealising If it makes you feel any better Carl we were doomed. At 420m asl it got up to 3.5C. Heavy rain currently, was never any hint of sleet. There was snow coverings east of Shrewsbury...and South slopes of the Berwyn range...so close
  16. Went on a trek to above 2000 ft asl...(630m asl).....still rain duw duw.....was still some week old ice hardened snow though Have a look at the difference between the two scottish border upland road cams! woah (mosspaul and carter bar) http://trafficscotland.org/lev/#
  17. I think as long as you stay on the right side of the stalling front you will be ok.....its just very marginal geographically not altitudinally
  18. Aah you are on the lucky south side of Berwyn.....North side its very green and damp
  19. Aah the joys of North Wales...ignored by southern england and the south of Wales lol...still nice to hear ppl in usually snowless areas like Barry Island seeing snow In this part of East Wales, its like a spring day, its some warm sector
  20. Don't depress me more! Living at 1400ft / 420 m asl in north east Wales and all we are getting proper is mild type rain ! LOL
  21. Just to compare, its 1400 feet here (420m) in North East Wales and I not even seen a hnt of sleet
