    still snowing steadily here, settling on cold ground, snow ground and parked cars, maybe couple of centimetres, and now beginning to settle on roads. Must be Convoy Sunday, as cavalcade of 4x4 and landrovers sped their way through probably up to Llanarmon to churn up some other part of the countryside.

    back in the 1960s... Llanarmon way was still unpaved road can you believe!

    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 :D

    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 :p

    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

    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 :D

    Still snowing heavily, wet socks when i slipped into a slush pool!

    When is this cruddy rain going to stop? Freezing cold as well. It can sod off right now frankly. Well done to the lucky buggers who got snow today. Our snowless winter goes on. :bad:

    Ye I think saying "east wales" got snow when most of the NE saw nothing is a little bit genrealising :acute:

    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 ;)

    Okay quick update.

    This was forecast to be rain or Sleet in South West England. They had snow and still snowing there. Even radar showed rain where it was snowing.

    Some parts of Wells and Bridgewater still getting snow right now.

    Seems that although the fronts are moving as expected the cold is more stubborn.

    Cold air is more dense than warm air so its not shifting quite as easy as expected, i do think it will shift thou.

    As for temps later, as rain / snow band clears chance of clearing skies and ice

    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
