Snow shuts dozens of schools and closes roads

Dozens of schools have shut and several roads are closed after snow fell across parts of Wales.

There are three yellow warnings in place for snow and ice across the UK, including north-east Wales.

Snow left one road impassable and collisions on two others roads, with 13 schools in Powys, Flintshire and Wrexham shut on Tuesday morning.

Snow started falling across parts of the UK on Monday in what the Met Office called the country’s "first taste of winter".

Almost 60 schools have already closed for the day in Wrexham, Powys and Flintshire.

On the roads the A44 in Powys was impassable and was shut in both directions from the A470 at Llangurig to the B4343 at Dryffryn Catell.

Traffic Wales also reported crashes on snowy roads causing a closure on the A55 eastbound at Caerwys in Flintshire.

The A483 southbound between Rossett and Greshford in Wrexham county was also shut after a collision in the snow.
