OK folks mid Jan is a good bet for snow in Wales, so is late Feb.
Big BUT if you want to play in snow at night it would be very wise to have greenlane experience of it in the daytime.
So you know what to do.
Its a totally different experience in the ice/snow to driving on tarmac.
Even though there where 5 of us on my first snow trip, and we set off early, we got stuck so much we had visions of sleeping on a windswept hill in freezing temps, it delayed us so much, granted all cars where nearly standard other than tyres.
A nice crisp night will be fine as long as the route avoids farms and other houses (who wants us trundling through their garden in the middle of a good late night movie?), so planning is the key.
When the snow comes, I think an impromptu meet can be held in the day time.
Sorry if I sound like Im lecturing
