Snow!

Snow on the dunesWell, this was the view that greeted us in Borth this morning looking out towards the beach and the sand dunes. Looks as though the weather forecasts were correct and they are forecasting more for today as well.

BBC: North, west and mid Wales are likely to be most affected overnight with heavy snow unlikely in the south east.

With temperatures below freezing expected, councils are getting ready to grit roads and send out snow ploughs.
