Across several regions of Wales, hazardous conditions caused by snowfall have led to serious travel advisories. Residents are being urged to avoid all but essential journeys due to dangerous road conditions. A weather warning has been issued for areas including Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire, and Powys, where snow accumulations may reach up to 10 centimeters (4 inches) through to 11:00 GMT on Sunday.
