This triangular green in Pilton Vale was white for about a week during a cold spell in January 2013. The occurrence of lying snow is very variable in this part of low-lying SE Wales. In a few years, there is little or no lying snow. At the other extreme, in a few years, snow covers the ground for many days or even weeks. Two particularly snowy years in the 20th century, (here and in many other locations in the UK) were 1963 and 1947.
