Forecast for the weekend looks like a heat wave - you might get more concerned about flooding

I live in the middle of em and it is grim tonight. There will be over a foot by morning plus drifting. Was out climbing on Pen y fan last Sunday and all back roads were passable only with 4x4, or with snow chains/tyres and good ground clearance. The A470 was perfect though. Assuming it stops snowing tomorrow then by WE the A470 will be fine up to Storey Arms. All other routes will be dodgy, even if we have rain and a thaw it will take a while to get rid of the ice and drifts on the back roads.

PS Snow conditions will be poor though you might get some ice over at Torpantau if it don't thaw too much before then...

Much appreciated guys
I think we're heading up to Penwyllt hut so up the A4067, and then up the steep hill... Then deciding what people want to do (some will want to go hiking etc). On the plus side though, I will be bringing the LR up as well, due to other commitments  |

I am in the SWCC and have a mate on FB who lives in one of the cottages at the top of the hill at Penwyllt. I can ask him what the hill is like at the mo. The A4067 will be fine for sure by the weekend. |
