I had to do the high pass above Machynlleth in a snow-storm at night

You are braver than me! When I arrived back at Machynlleth station last Christmas and dug the car out of the snow drift that had covered it, I went round the coast to get home. Even that was Not Much Fun in a sporty Astra on a road that had several inches of snow on it. There was even snow on the beach at Aberdovey. But this year, we have not had a single flake yet. There's not even much on the mountains.

I used to drive in snow every winter to get to work because it's always worse up through Bala and Corwen, but now I work from home, there's no point in taking unnecessary risks, so I tend to leave the car and walk instead.
