Snow!!
The Met Office have issued warnings for snow over Friday and Saturday, with the West Wales having a 60% chance of heavy snow and
blizzards...
http://www.meto.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/warnings.html
Met Check also seem to suggest that it is going to snow continuously through Thurs/Fri night and into Saturday so maybe some snowy
activities could be on the cards this weekend?!

A few housemates and myself are planning an early session on Friday morning in the hills... lets hope the forecasts are right!! Why am
I so excited?!?

I'll have to see how I feel Rob, but it sounds like a good idea.
Neil... I'd imagine the roads will be OK, they've had plenty of warning this is coming (if it does) so the roads should be
well-gritted.

well after an early morning session on the slopes there is certainly enough to ski or board! wouldn't suggest bringing any shiny new
toys out though!
on the hills for about 6:15, it was still snowing, and continued to do so until 9:30.
here's a few pics!!
