The West Shore web cam shows how bad the conditions are and I could only see two people out walking, one being a dedicated dog owner.

SSW winds of over 40 mph forecast throughout the day so that bucket and spade may come in very handy later

Sorry Steve...no can do. We will rely on you for the bucket and spade. I still can't walk very well and my OH has been struck down with sciatica! Tried to stagger out with the dog, but the wind nearly had me over. Dog will have to go in the garden!

New interactive map reveals exactly which parts of North Wales are most at risk of flooding
Natural Resources Wales has produced the map

A new map shows exactly which areas of North Wales are at risk from flooding by rivers, sea and surface water.

The chart released by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) goes into close-up detail across the region on where land could be impacted and how badly.

It gives three colours - blue for rivers, green for sea and purple for surface water and small watercourses, with different shades for risk level representing low, medium and high.

Met Office issues Boxing Day wind warning with gusts of up to 80mph possible and it's nothing to do with the sprouts you've eaten on Christmas Day

North Wales is bracing itself for a battering from Force Ten gusts as Storm Bella hits the region on Boxing Day.

The Met Office is expecting winds of up to 60mph this afternoon and evening as the storm sweeps northwards.

Last night Storm Bella was at it's worst and everything was rattling on our roof and I could hear things getting blown about in People's gardens but this morning the wind has abated and it's fairly calm.
The first thing I read on my laptop this morning however was a yellow warning for ice and snow in North Wales and it's supposed to be starting today and lasting for two days.
December has been very wet indeed and I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the wettest on record

No sign of any of the bad weather so far, in fact it's quite pleasant here at the moment but only time will tell

MUCH of the UK is expecting snow and ice today (Monday) after being hit by storms throughout Christmas.

The Met Office has put in place yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across Northern Ireland, most of Scotland and much of Wales.

The warning is in place for Conwy and Denbighshire but not currently for Bangor (Gwynedd) or Anglesey.

A forecast statement reads: "A band of rain, sleet and snow followed by wintry showers will move south across Western and Central parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday evening and then into parts of Northern England and North Wales early on Monday morning.

I saw on the news last night...........The M6 was closed for over three hours due to multiple crashes on the northbound carriageway after a sudden downpour of snow and hail.

Wales weather warning for snow and ice disruption.      We have been lucky so far in avoiding the bad weather and hopefully we'll miss this  ice and snow warning but anything is possible nowadays
