There is that old saying, that there is no such thing as adverse weather, just wrong choice of suitable clothing.
The last time i was out in conditions as severe as the current extreme weather, was way back in the early 1980s, when i was caught out in a blizzard on the ridge from the Gap towards Cribyn in the main Brecon Beacons.
I am not quite sure if the windchill was as nuts as it is this afternoon, because ive just returned from Deganwy on the coast, having collected a late delivery parcel from Queensferry for my friend whose thought it unwise to venture out in such conditions.
The last time it was anything like this on the sunny Welsh riviera, was back in the winter of 2010, and even then i doubt it was as cold as it is at the moment, bitter is not the word for it, this may be exceptional conditions that few of us have experienced.
Anyone attempting a walk in remote countryside in these type of conditions, should go fully prepared for the worst possible conditions.
Its strange, no news of casualties on Snowdon or Tryfan, it must be so cold that not even the die hard walker is risking the elements.
