Drivers across Wales experienced problems on the roads

Friday's snowfall, which followed heavy snow on Thursday, caused gridlock on many roads in Wales and closed more than 600 schools.

The snow moved north into England and Scotland overnight, leaving rain and milder temperatures across Wales.

There are no problems reported on any of Wales' main roads but there is still snow on roads in some rural areas.

Snow fell in the Wrexham area early on Saturday, but had moved away by late morning.

Met Office forecaster Nick Ricketts said there was no further snow forecast for Wales except for on some areas of higher ground.

He said: "The forecast is for it to become dryer across Wales during Saturday, before some persistent showers overnight.

"Longer-term, it will be unsettled, but we are not looking at the return of the snow for the immediate future.

"Wales will have showery rain rather than snow in the coming days, but it could possibly fall as snow on the mountains of Snowdonia."

Mr Ricketts said localised flooding was a possibility as Thursday and Friday's snow thawed.

He added: "It's always a consideration as there was quite a bit of snow on higher ground which could run into rivers when it melts.

"But we don't feel at this stage there will be a rapid thaw, it will be steady."

Heavy snow on Thursday and further, unforecast, snow on Friday created major transport problems across Wales.

More than 600 schools were closed and buses, trains and roads were severely affected.

There was gridlock across several towns and cities including Cardiff and Newport while the M4 near Swansea was closed for several hours.

Further west, near Carmarthen, more than 500 drivers were trapped for up to five hours on a gridlocked A48.

In some areas, drivers abandoned their cars at the roadside as traffic came to a standstill.

Among the areas worst affected was Sennybridge in Powys which experienced 6in (15cm) of snow on Friday on top of 4in (10cm) on Thursday- making a total of 10in (25cm).

At Cardiff International Airport, between 1,500 and 2,000 rugby fans were delayed for several hours waiting for flights to Edinburgh for Saturday's Six Nations clash with Scotland to take off.

But by Saturday morning, flights there had returned to normal.
