Photo: Dawn view from Pen Y Fan over a frozen Welsh landscape in record setting cold temperatures Sunday, November 28 2010 The Russians have been kind enough to send an express delivery of Siberian wind from the east to the UK.  The results sent temperatures plummeting and brought the earliest widespread winter storms since 1993.  […]

I was up hiking on Hay Bluff yesterday and saw the season’s first snow.  Ya, it’s not much, but Hay Bluff is quite low and it’s only the beginning of November. There was more to be seen on the other peaks in the Black Mountains and I heard the west coast of Scotland got a […]
