I'm planning to take a week's photography holiday in Snowdonia and thinking March or April.
I don't like the summer much and don't want to wait until Autumn.
I want to include some snow on the tops, and possibly frozen streams, but don't want there to be so much snow that I need crampons when I step out the car or even get the car stuck on the road.
I don't necessarily need to reach the summits as I prefer images of the mountain tops rather than from the mountain tops.
I remember going with my then-fiancee to Snowdon in about 1995 at Easter, walking from the Pen-y-Pass car park in snow and the conditions on the Miners Track were fine as far as Llyn Lydaw ; then we turned back soon after that as it really needed crampons. However this situation would be fine as I'll be lugging a large format outfit and tripod so will be happy to not go too far.
Does anyone have any recent knowledge of the probability of snow in March or April ?
Thanks
