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!
