Do you usually get many snow days in March/April?
I imagine if it's anything like the rest of Britain, you'll see more snow in March than December?

Yep.
March has been my constant for many years.
The dumps can be heavier and offer better coverage than December or January, but it doesn't stick around long though.

Sleet/snow tonight with freezing level dropping to 600-700m. Visibility improving tomorrow but winds increasing.
Can't see it being one of the better skiing days but I might give it a go! Snow forecast still going for 10cm on the top.
10 is actually a very special number for me. Last month marked 10 years since I last skied outside the UK

Looks like freezing level will be quite a bit lower in Snowdonia than the Beacons.. and more precipitation as well.
Any areas up north suitable for the less experienced skiers/boarders?

Straight up from the lay-by next to Llyn Ogwen.
If it snows in Southern Snowdonia, then the slopes opposite Cadair Idris above Tal-y-Llyn are perfect - read grassy.
So too Aran Mawddwy near Lake Bala.

Thanks Mike.
Will be interesting to see what happens over the next few days. Loads of precipitation forecast but how much will be snow...
Arpege model is suggesting some extraordinary accumulations further west on the Irish mountains. Only live 10 minutes from the ferry so i'm keeping a close eye on this

Most models suggesting colder weather from Sunday ('some' snow gaurenteed I would've thought).
Interesting to see what happens tomorrow and Friday. MWIS suggesting heavy snow above 600m, in the Beacons, met office suggesting something more sleety and snow forecast going for a couple cm's at 800m.
Snowdonia seems more 'snow sure' and looks like it'll see more precipitation over the coming days. Looks stormy though - I certainly wouldn't want go go venturing up there with the conditions I had on 10th Feb!
Oh the excitement

Has anyone tried the Berwyns in North East Wales? Looks very grassy and similar looking to the Beacons.
Also looks to be in the firing line for some heavy snow tonight/tomorrow

I'm pondering doing something in Snowdonia on Monday but not sure if it's going to be worth the drive.

Looks fantastic.
I'm tempted to have look at Berwyns tomorrow.. even it's just scouting new terrain for next season and taking some wintery photos 
Higher winds in the South and seems to be question marks about how much of the precipitation tonight will be snow. Seems like it might be a case of latitude over altitude..
We'll see

@Mouse555, Did you go over ? I walked our local hills and could see snow on the Berwyns.

Snow forecast suggesting there could be quite a bit of snow for Tuesday/wednesday in the North. Also suggesting 12cm tomorrow for top of Pen Y Fan. Interesting to see if that comes off.
Milder Thursday/Friday and back cold again on the weekend it seems. Seen this quite a bit this year. Haven't really tapped into a prolonged cold spell so the snow has mostly been quite soft and baseless.

Met Office and snow forecast still suggesting the possibility of a few cm's this morning up high in the Beacons.. so a possibility for Wednesday.
Looks like a lot will depend on exactly when (if) the rain turns to snow and how many showers there are following in behind.
Similar thing happened Saturday night. Temperature around freezing on the tops, precipitation moves in, temperature rises by 4-5 degrees in about an hour and then drops back just as quick as the front has moved through.
Off to Bridgend tomorrow so may stop by to check on the pistes if I've got time

Just had a quick look. Snowing heavily at Storey Arms with car temperature saying 0.5C.- freezing level lower than forecast it seems.
Rainfall radar looks like lots more precipitation left to fall so It could be on lads

Zero days here too. I usually manage something on the local Shropshire hills but it's not worked out.
Sunday for North Wales was looking a possible on the charts. We'll see.
