Well congratulations to Karen 2E0XYL for getting out on the 1st day of the UK Winter bonus.
I can only assume the WX in N. Wales is more benign than here. It’s about -3C which is nothing really. Except we had another 14cms of snow last night, 3cms during the morning and the non-drift depth in my garden is upto 47cms. That’s 18.5 inches in old money! Honda RT4WD still doing the business though.
Here’s to a successful activation.

Yes,well done to those that braved the elements today!
Andy-RT4WD? I happen to work in a Honda franchise and not seen one of those beasties for years.
WX not been as bad through on the West side although lots of snow & ice.Temp currently -3 and expecting a balmy -14 during the night.

Not the old 91 Civic RT4WD, a CR-V Mk2 Petrol.

Thanks, Andy. Having booked a couple of SOTA days off work some weeks ago - Neil and I just had to get up somewhere! The Horseshoe Pass was surprisingly good, temperature was -2C at the car with a couple of inches of snow on the ground - around 4 inches and drifting in places nearer the top. Somewhat colder on the summit, especially when it started snowing heavily again!
Not many chasers around but many thanks to the following:

Karen & Neil,
Sorry I missed you but I didn’t see any alerts when I checked & my 2m Rig is mainly monitoring 144.8MHz while I’m playing with APRS these days.
Congratulations on your first Winter Bonus.
73,
Colin.
