I could get the train over on Wednesday evening to do a route on Thursday. Where are you staying?

It depends on the weather really. If there isn't much snow, I'd really like to do the Bochlwyd Horseshoe. If it's proper winter conditions, probably something a bit easier. The Y Cribyn ridge looks like a fun ridge on the way up to Snowdon, could then double back and do the second half of the Snowdon Horseshoe

With or without belays? I'm not sure if I'm ready for that route, it looks pretty serious, although it's impossible to really tell until you're on it
