Downpour and flooding in Codsall within the last hour. It appeared from nowhere on the radar. Still baking hot and sunny a mile or so away.

Well that was interesting. Just returned from North Wales. A41 off Jnc 3 of M54 towards Wolverhampton is closed and most roads through the villages were impassable due to serious flooding. Managed to find just one road barely passable through Albrighton. The road under the railway bridge had a submerged 4x4 roof poking out. I then had to find the one and only road into the village not flooded to get home.

Just to confirm above.....

The last two days have seen the sun struggling to burn through the cloud but day it's been cracking since early morning. 22° here and a pleasant easterly breeze.

Been there quite a few times when I was a young kid. My parents had a caravan in Abersoch ( Sarn Bach ) Last time I was there was about 1976 in the hot summer and had my honeymoon there. My wife had never seen the sea until then as she was from landlocked Austria ! Think I played a round of golf at Morfa Nefyn GC without much success. Certainly enjoyed a pint a two at this pub. Remember the waves were quite something near that beach.
C
There were videos this winter on Facebook ( I believe) of storm waves crashing at the pub wall...
However I prefer it on days like today similar to this one ...

One of the top ten beach bars in the world....
.. and In North Wales!
Great in a day like today! Cheers!
The Ty Coch Inn is arguably the best pub in Wales and OFFICIALLY in the top ten beach bars in the world... according to a recent survey
It is situated in the village of Porthdinllaen near Morfa Nefyn, Gwynedd, on the north coast of the Lleyn peninsular.
With views across the Irish Sea to The Rivals and a sandy beach on its doorstep what better way to while away the hours.

Tonight is a super moon crescent in conjunction with Venus.
SUPER CRESCENT MOON AND VENUS CONJUNCTION: Tonight, May 17th, a super crescent Moon with Earthshine will pass by Venus in the sunset sky. What is a super crescent Moon? It's like a super full Moon--only prettier. Visit today's edition of Spaceweather.com for the full story of crescent-shaped supermoons and how to observe this one.

Fresh snow again this morning at altitude around here.
-
Now the cloud height has risen I can see fresh snow here overnight/this morning on the Moelwyns above c.400/500 metres.

Went out mid afternoon and could barely get back down the lane an hour later which is very exposured to the strong Easterly. The wind seems to have finally died down now so the drifts have stopped reforming and growing.
This chap is our local hero having been down four times today to keep on top of the drifting. A big thumbs up to him!

A good 8+cm covering here overnight with drifting again. For the 4th time this winter we've been snowed in again. The very helpful farmer has been and cleared the lane but some of the drifts are reforming.
Like last time, the snow is whistling off the fields almost leaving them bare and billowing into drifts in the dips and hollows, one being the 200m track to the lane!
Thankfully it's stopped snowing. A slight thaw looks to setting in as well.

The snow that came at lunchtime was still lying in the shady spots this evening but now everywhere is nowed covered. Looks like we might get a cm or two by morning.
I also noticed this morning that there were still a couple of isolated mounds of snow remaining where the tractors had cleared the huge drifts to the roadside from two weeks ago.
-
No more snow please. Having had to be dug out by the farmer three times just gone I don't want to get snowed in again. I've got a hospital appointment first thing Monday.
The remains of the last huge drifts have only just gone a few days ago.
-
Snowing here now. Proper stuff not sleet & quite heavy,
-
Some serious big drifts taller than the 4x4s down the lanes around the village.
Many locals saying it's reminiscent of 63 and the worst they've seen since then.

It started snowing again at 3 yesterday afternoon and was still going strong at midnight.
Huge drifting on top of existing ones and I have been snowed in again until just when the farmer cleared the track again for the third time in two days.
Folk like him are the real heroes at times like this.
Now I can finally get out I'll try and get some photos.

Westbeech Road?
Yep... Always a nightmare as it rarely gets gritted. I had to leave the village via Patshull and Burnhill Green

Is that your Springer? Mine loves the snow!
Nope... these photos were from the village facebook page... we have two German Shorthaired pointers who love the snow as well!

The Beast from the East finally roared here in South Staffs with huge drifts in places... Out track was cleared twice by the kind farmer at 11 last night and again at 7 this morning otherwise I would have been snowed in
The first one is a car in the distance well and truly stuck on the road out of the village...
