Conwy Today (Sunday)?

[Lawsy]

Any of the North Wales possee able to tell me what conditions have been like in and around Conwy today? We set off from North Manchester in bright sunshine. Before 9-00 a.m. we were in thick fog that lasted from east of Stockport & continued past the airport. The fog was worse as we moved into Cheshire so we decided not to risk it, came off the M56 at Lymm & returned to home via the A roads of south Manchester. Anybody able to say how long the fog bank lasted for? Would we have got out of it much past Lymm? In a childish fit of jealousy, I'm not so sure that I want hear that Conwy was bathed in glorious winter sunshine & that there was hardly a ripple on the water. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Lawsy, Conway is often a small pocket of good weather on that coast. The Cheshire plain tends to be the main path that depressions/ front & fog banks take into the Midlands.

Generally find the fog clears once you're past Chester area, Conwy was bathed in glorious winter sunshine & there was hardly a ripple on the water!
Only kiddin', I've no idea what it was like, we've been Christmas shopping.

I was in Port Dinorwic yesterday, moving my boat form the Council Estate into the dock, for the winter. On the drive back I could see the sea was flat calm - despite the Friday night storm - and as I passed Chester it got progressively foggier.

Very rarely see fog past Rhyl and points West, except the human induced kind that is Mucky Farter.

They made me pressure wash it before I was allowed to go home.

Well you have to make sure you have a clean bottom when mixing in such circles.

Don't think there was any fog (can only see Gt. Orme / Anglesey from home), but the weather here was a bit dismal for most of the day - fine drizzle (you know, the kind that gets you really wet.....) and low cloud, but the odd spell of sunshine. Went to Chester at about 11:30 - no sign of fog there, either.

Bottom? No, it was the top and decks and the whole process was supervised by three other boaters and the dock master. They kept pointing out the bits I had missed.
If they'd seen my dirty bottom they'd have banished me back to the Council Estate.
