After a
mild and dry February, today's overnight snowfall was a shock, proving that March can be a very cruel month. We should be looking forward to spring. We've had wildflowers out if not in abundance then certainly more than usual. Should we say, more than normal, when this could be the new normal.
Yesterday's snow closed local schools. Peak traffic on the A494 was as low as Christmas week. Today, with much more snow, schools also remain shut.
Tonight's temperature in town is predicted as –5°. But that at Llandegla is
reminiscent of 2010, at –7°C (feeling like –11°C).
Mid-morning and the sun emerged. By mid-afternoon, there was a certain spring-like warmth, in spite of the snow still evident in parts, on grass, gardens and hills.
