Had spent wed eve in Mid Wales travelling back on Thurs afternoon - Not the
worst I can remember in the last few years but still very pretty..

get a look in !! ( Crossgates , Powys )

Eardisley in Herefordshire - had stuck well to trees here.

place to be and is notorious for drifting. The fields feed snow onto the
road long after it has stopped falling . The A44 on the top of the Radnor
Forrest , Powys Mid Wales.

like the driver of this car had had a lucky escape just missing the
wall.....a reminder of the downside of this lovely winter wonderland.


Enjoy

I drove across here on Boxing Day, 1963 in my Mini Van in, probably, 15
cms of snow and blizzard conditions. This was the start of the much
quoted cold spell. I left Basingstoke, Hampshire, just after lunch to
drive to Aberporth, Cardiganshire. When I left Basingstoke it was
lightly snowing out of a blue sky. By the time I reached Gloucester
conditions were very bad and Radnor Forest was horrendous in the dark.
Many times I was on full opposite lock and reached Aberystwyth with a
great feeling of relief. The coast road, the A487, was clear of snow and
I was able to cruise at my normal 50 mph. When I stopped to clear the
snow from the front of the van I discovered, to my horror, that the road
was a sheet of ice and can only conclude that the snow bound A44 had
honed my slippery road driving skills to the point that I was
automatically correcting for the icy A487. I slowed down for the
remaining few miles.

The Minivan was my first new car and was a delight...
