Cold weather is set to continue across Wales on Wednesday with two separate Met Office weather warnings in place across Wales until noon.
The yellow warnings for snow and ice come after much of the country saw temperatures plummet last night and have been in place from 12pm on Tuesday, January 17, and are due to run until 12pm on Wednesday, January 18. A further weather warning now runs until 12pm on Thursday.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "A few snow showers will affect these areas overnight and into Wednesday morning. Accumulations of a couple of centimetres are likely at low levels, with some of the higher ground seeing as much as 5-10 cm. In addition, icy stretches are likely to form following showers."

Dozens of schools have closed in many areas of Wales due to the treacherous conditions. See the full list here which is being updated throughout the day.
Yesterday's snowy weather led to a number of schools and road closures. The A470 in both directions remains closed due to flooding between Rhayader and Llangurig in Powys, according to traffic monitoring service Inrix.
We've captured the periods of snowfall according to the Met Office weather maps from today until Thursday. The colours shown on the maps correspond to the type of precipitation (rain is blue, snow is white and hail is orange) and the darker the colour the heavier that precipitation is - so white is light snow, and dark grey forecasts heavy snowfall.
