The temperature has now touched -6C outside my home at 3-27pm, and that's out of the wind and in the shade facing North.
Thankfully little snow has fallen here on the North Wales coast, but even for this part of Snowdonia, regarded for his higher than average temperatures, that is pretty cold.
I will have to check the average seasonal temperatures for Dyffryn, but -6C away from the main summits of the Rhinogs, is quite rare.
Iolo's last episode on Snowdonia is well worth catching, as he highlight's the severe winter conditions associated in the Northern Carneddau.
He does an epic traverse of the Northern Carneddau from Gerlan, eventually reaching the Foel Grach hut for a quiet break away from the artic conditions, even he thought conditions were bad, so top marks for the cameramen braving such weather.
His camera men must have had hard time of it.
I just cannot imagine what conditions must be like there this week, a shame nobody has left a hi/low thermometer to record the lowest temperature.
If its -6C here on the coast, 3400ft above sea level, does not bare thinking about-- BRASS MONKEY"S.
Nothing has so far been reported on the news regarding this Beast from the East climatic conditions, but it may set a few early March records for unseasonably low temperatures, and its not done with us as yet.
