Conditions
Despite the snowy weekend, the snow had thawed in most places again by today's observations. From around 700m a few very scattered patches were seen which did not affect walking the path at all, but a few areas of slightly more significant snow were seen on the path above 950m.

Above 950m on the PyG and miners' paths on the approach to Bwlch Glas was where this more significant snow was seen. In most places it was easy enough to avoid this snow on the path, but there were a few places where care was needed to avoid the snow when walking the path. The snow seen, although thawing, was firm and well consolidated in nature. Again a re-freeze or new snow could complicate things here (see Additional Information below).

Between Bwlch Glas and the summit only a few patches were seen, and the path was completely clear along this section.

A cloudy and misty day, with showers coming and going. These showers fell as rain low on the mountain, but snow, hail and snow alternately closer to the summit.

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

Carrying an ice axe and some form of crampons will offer safer options when encountering snow and ice on the mountain.

Carrying snow goggles (such as ski goggles) will protect the eyes from cold winds and wind driven snow, making it easier to see 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 close to freezing throughout the period until the next report on Friday. Temperatures are expected to be around freezing to begin with, dropping later in the week. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -2ºC (feeling like it is as low as -10ºC at times).

With precipitation forecast at times, and the temperature close to, or below freezing, some new snow or ice is possible in the coming days. Although there is no substantial snow forecast on the day of the report, snow seems possible at any time in the days to come higher on the mountain, even if this possibility is somewhat marginal. This possibility of snow or ice seems a bit more likely to develop later in the week and the latest forecasts should be kept an eye on for further developments.
