January and February 2026 promises to potentially be a snowy couple of months. Of course that’s very exciting for the snowman building, snowball fight demographic – but here’s some tips to avoid getting stuck in the snow on your way to visit us at Yewdale Cottage.
- Keep an eye on snow warnings
It’s always best to keep an eye on the weather forecast to ensure that you don’t get caught on your way. For many, St Davids is a fair old drive and the weather can change very quickly. It’s a good idea to have as much knowledge as possible before you make the trip.
2. Keep to a reasonable speed
Snow and ice can be very hard to see and often the road is slippier than you might imagine. Never exceed the speed limit and be very aware that there could be crashes on the road. If you see a car in front with their hazards on, it’s a good idea to slow right down as there may be an accident.
3. Bring supplies and food
You never know, even with good planning you just might get stuck. In general the motorways are fine but from Carmarthen onwards the roads get windier and narrower. And from Haverfordwest they can become quite dangerous. So always be prepared incase you are stuck in your car for a few hours. Snacks could be a life saver if the worst does happen.
4. Check your car before you leave
Things like water pressure and coolant are vital to be checked before you leave. Coolant warms your car up as well as cooling it down so always make sure you are stocked up. Tyre pressure is important incase you hit a pothole. With flatter tyres you are far more likely to get a puncture.
If in doubt, do not travel. Get in touch with myself and we will see if we can extend your stay. Your safely is our primary concern!
