Met Office warnings for snow and ice have been issued for large parts of Wales this week. The forecasting service has issued a number of warnings that are in place at different times between Monday and Friday.
They are warning that in excess of 20cm of snow could accumulate over high ground in Scotland and more than 5cm is likely to accumulate even to lower levels in the northeast of the UK and there could be snow in Wales during the week.
Met Office chief meteorologist Dan Suri said: “Snow, ice, and low temperatures are the main themes of this week’s forecast as the UK comes under the influence of an arctic maritime airmass as cold air moves in from the north. Snow is already falling in parts of the north where some travel disruption is likely as well as a chance of some rural communities being cut off. Snow showers will continue through today and Tuesday here and Northern Ireland will also be subject to some snow showers, especially over high ground.
