More than 330 schools closed as snow causes disruption in Wales

Snow and ice weather warnings remain in force across Wales, bringing more disruption and school closures.

A Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice is in place until Tuesday at 11:00 GMT, with a continuation of wintry showers across parts of Wales forecast.

More than 330 schools are closed for another day in Anglesey, Bridgend, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Neath Port Talbot, Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire, Powys and Wrexham with poor road conditions making travel difficult.

The cold weather will continue after that, with a “continuation of wintry showers” forecast as well as a mix of rain, sleet and snow later in the day.

Motorists are facing tricky conditions due to the wintry weather, with a number of roads blocked due to snow.

These include the A474 Pontardawe Road in Neath Port Talbot, which is blocked in both directions from the Waun Penlan (Pontardawe) to the Abernant Road (Cwmgors) and the A542 Horseshoe Pass in Llangollen, Denbighshire, which is also blocked in both directions between the B5103 (Corwen turn off, Llangollen) and the A5104 (Wrexham turn off, Pen-y-Stryt).

Driving in snow and ice can be difficult, but careful preparations for such conditions can help.

Having winter tyres for extra grip, topping up screen wash and using antifreeze are all measures that can go a long way.

It is also important to prepare for journeys to take longer and check traffic reports before setting off.

If you get stuck, do not try to keep moving if the wheels spin – it will only dig you in deeper.

Like humans, animals can be at risk of hypothermia if they become too cold.

Raising their beds off the ground can keep older dogs away from draughts, while cats may like playing or resting in high-up dens or on climbing posts.

Experts recommend extra play time to make sure pets keep active if they are spending less time outside. Indoor toys can help.

Your pet may want to eat more to help keep their body temperature up.

At the same time, they may also want to drink less, but make sure they have constant access to fresh drinking water to avoid the risk of dehydration.
