Yes the old shop. Looks like it was empty at the time of the collision. No-one seems to be trapped in the car The Fire Brigade are here on site and the front of the house looks (in this light) to be somewhat less than vertical. They have only just had the work completed from  last years incident when a car did something similar but went straight through the front door. Might be time to install some fencing or a ram raid type of Bollard.

Know the owner of the house in question. Hope he is OK.

Its been snowing like mad up here on the Gt Orme all night.
Just as the road was becoming useable again, we are back to square one. ))*

Our travel plans to visit family in Yorkshire for Xmas just took a negative turn.
I have an upset wife as she had all the pressies wrapped, food bought and cards written.

Ah well, such is life.   :( :( :(


Same here but the other way round. No family, no paying guests, It's only common sense with the state of the roads. Saw a car do an impression of 'Dancing on Ice' down Arvon Ave this morning .

I'd be very nervous if If I lived in that house. They definitely need a proper crash barrier in front of it. Any photos?

Our paperboy came on time again today.

I don't normally bother with Tudno FM but because trying to get any local news on the TV is a waste of time I switched on Tudno FM at 9am and again at 10am this morning to listen to their local and national news.

Unfortunately, there wasn't any.

What a shame.

In my opinion, today was an excellent opportunity for Tudno FM to rise to the occasion to serve our community.

Anyway, many congratulations to this Forum for providing a local service when it is needed most.

Keep up the good work.  $thanx$

You know, Bri, that's astonishing, because I was literally about to type exactly the same comment myself. I have Tudno FM on here and it is just back to back Christmas music since I switched it on. I had been hoping for information on the situation locally - what roads are open/closed, what buses/trains are running, those sort of things. Instead...nothing. What a waste of time.  ))*

Perhaps we should make an approach to the TFM management team and suggest some sort or permanent liaison between TFM and 3Towns?

I'm working away from North Wales this week and today is my last day. I now have the choice of driving back to Conwy tonight or tomorrow morning.

Looking at the Jam Cams it doesn't look very promising to travel tonight. But will tomorrow be any better?

It's bad up here on Colwyn Heights, when I went to the shops they only managed to get the papers from the Bay because someone had a 4 X 4 and went down for them. No other deliveries made to the shop and the car park at the Pen Y Bryn Pub is snowed up.

The A55 is fine but the problem occurs when you leave it! I suspect things might improve a touch tomorrow.

Those pictures show just how bad it is for everyone in the area, I wonder what time they were taken.   It's surprising how clear everything  is at night when there's snow on the ground
