Conditions
There was a slightly wintry turn on the morning of the report once again, after some thawing at times in the past few days. By this morning there were a number of icy areas to be seen, some of these low on the mountain at the start of the day. There was also evidence of some new snow, existing as a dusting as low as 350m, with more snow higher up on the mountain, having accumulated in some places, and scoured by the wind more extensively. The snow affected walking the route more significantly above around 650m, but together with icy areas low on the mountain earlier in the day a number of icy areas were seen in various places between around 750m and 950m. The new snow made walking the path a little easier in some places, but there were also a number of hard, icy and slippery areas.

On the PyG (and miners) path there is still an area of hard old snow under Bwlch Glas above about 900m, with the possibility of serious slips off the route in some places.

On the Llanberis path there were hard and icy patches on Allt Moses, with Allt Goch once again a combination of old snow, new snow and icy edges. There were areas above Allt Goch where the path was completely covered in snow, with nearby slopes increasingly covered by thin icy snow which offers the possibility of serious slides from slipping on the path in some places.

Above Bwlch Glas on the Llanberis, PyG, miners and Cwellyn (Snowdon Ranger) paths the route was completely covered by a layer of snow, being icy, hard, and slippery in some places. All the paths seemed to develop progressively more compacted and slippery underfoot with traffic during the day.

A cloudy but dry day, with light winds gradually strengthening during the day.

Essential equipment
Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headtorch or two each).

Carrying an ice axe and mountaineering crampons will offer safer options on the mountain. Microspikes could also be beneficial in addition to this with thin, icy and variable conditions likely across some areas of the mountain.

Carrying goggles (such as ski goggles) will offer a means of protecting the eyes to see more easily in order to travel more safely on the mountain.

Additional Information
On the Tuesday of the report, the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will be below freezing for a large part of the period until the next report, being several degrees below freezing at times, but rising above freezing during Friday. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -6ºC (feeling like it is as low as -18ºC at times).

It is also predicted to rain at times, with snow likely widely across the mountain, specifically during Wednesday. Strong winds are predicted as the snow falls on Wednesday, with blizzards likely and the snow being significantly affected by the influence of wind.

There will likely be times of very poor visibility when it will be impossible to see the paths in order to follow them, paths and footprints will disappear quickly, and at times it will not be possible to see at all and it will be necessary to rely completely on navigation techniques and equipment to travel on the mountain. This is particularly likely during Wednesday.
