A small north Wales village saw the heaviest snowfall, official figures from the Met Office have revealed. Capel Curig saw nearly a foot of snow as Storm Larisa battered the UK.
The Eryi (Snowdonia) mountain village accumulated 27cm (10.6in) of snow - the highest across the country, following severe winter weather. It was closely followed by 26cm at Lake Vyrnwy in Powys.
Hundreds of schools were closed and some road shut as heavy snow hit the region while an amber warning was in place. Roads affected included the Horsehoe Pass, near Llangollen, stretches of the A55, parts of the A5 at Tregarth and Fronscysyllte; and other A and B roads.
