surfski, What do you reckon is the best way in by car to get walking access to the tops ?
In the past I've parked by the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall but the chances of getting in (and more to the point, out) there with snow on the ground seem slim in my car

It was snowing steadily but not settling at the top of Mynydd Gethin above Merthyr most of this afternoon. Thats under 500m so there's a fair chance of something on Pen-y-Fan. Storey Arms webcam shows a dusting by the side of the road.

harrisonygwningen, Sorry, I meant the Long Mynd web cam is at 500m as well.

^^ Last week I had a day walking across the tops of the Long Mynd and captured this panorama of some the possibilities we have in Shropshire.
Far far left you can just see the Wrekin (407m) which has had good past form, while middle left is The Lawley which has traditionally proved a reliable venue with close cropped grass and about 30 degrees according to the OS.
The big lump in the centre is Caer Caradoc which is about 500m. On the frontside there are several gullies that I have my eye on and other possibilities abound. The side of the valley the photo was taken from is the Long Mynd which also has some nice potential lines.

@AndAnotherThing..,

The link hopefully shows Moel Sych with a bit more snow, I don't live far from there and I was looking at the map with a view of going there if it snows enough, I then saw that you had been up for a look. If we get enough snow I'm going for it!!!!

@Matrski, Let me know and I'd love to tag along. If you are close and can tag the conditions that makes a big difference as it's about an hour and a half for me, so a bit far to pop for a look.
What year were the pics - 2001 ?

@Matrski, The pic where the guy was 'sledging' looks interesting. That's above the waterfall (I think) and looks very skiable yet based on the other pics I don't think there was generally as much snow as when I was up the other day but it looks firmer.
Looking at the other photo's you can see localised wind loading at a different aspect to the wind direction on the ridge line.

Snowing in south Shropshire - not settling at 150ish metres and can't see higher through the clouds but the long mynd web cam looks white (or it's sat in a cloud - hard to tell!) Also looks snowy on the Brecons.
Bit earlier than forecast - meh had things to do not helped by snow...

@Randomsabreur, @robapplegate, the myndcam is showing plenty of white at the glider club. Fingers crossed for a bit more overnight and I'll have a look tomorrow with skis.

A little dusting in the lakes today, with more forecast could get a day this weekend. Think they've only ran the tow once so far this season.

Snow on the Welsh mountians. Could see it this afternoon from Liverpool.

Road now white at 150m, Brown Clee very white looking last thing, apparently Caer Caradoc also quite white and a sprinkling on Wenlock Edge from this afternoon's shower. Wishing I had my own skis now...

@Randomsabreur, you'd only scratch the bases. Might get the old board out though if enough falls. Pretty white up here on Titterstone, think I might go for a little walk.

Would love to see pics.
