Penwyllt Conditions today

Hi all. If you are intending to visit Penwyllt this weekend expect to have to walk up the hill from at least half way up. 4x4's should be ok but frozen snow at the top end makes it interesting.
If you do make it up frozen drifts on the track will belly out standard cars and the section from the Cwm Dwr car park to the club gate is a deep frozen drift which caught me out yesterday (thanks Gary M).
More snow is forecast.

The hill has been gritted today but Toby reports the water low at his house - which is lower than Penwyllt so it is likely the club is affected and water pipe is frozen. Any volunteers?
