🧵 Snow Update

#Cardiff woke up to the anticipated snow covering this morning, which meant that there were some very slight changes to normal service.

🚦Priority travel routes were gritted overnight last night, and most roads ran well throughout the day, with traffic reported to be lighter than usual.

There were some issues this morning in north Cardiff, on Thornhill Road, north of the junction with Capel Gwillym Road, and on Rhiwbina Hill.

🚌 Cardiff Bus ran a full service, with some very minor changes in some residential areas, on higher ground.

🏫 Following school-by-school risk assessments, the vast majority of schools were open today, two were closed.

♻️ All waste and recycling collections ran to schedule today, apart from two rounds that collect from communal flats which will be rescheduled for tomorrow.

👀 Looking ahead, the @metoffice Yellow Warning of snow and ice remains in place for an area which includes #Cardiff, but this is now ending slightly earlier tomorrow morning – 7am instead of the originally published 9am.

@metoffice Cardiff is expected to see a combination of rain, sleet and snow this evening and overnight, but any snow is not expected to settle in most parts of the city, or to quickly melt away where it does.

@metoffice That prediction is based on the temperature forecast to stay just above freezing at the lowest point overnight for a lot of the city, but this is being monitored closely by our Highways Teams.

@metoffice The priority routes in high-level areas of the city will be gritted again tonight, with priority routes on lower ground continuing to be monitored, and treated if the temperature falls below those currently forecast.

@metoffice ⚠️ Please remember to take extra care, particularly on untreated roads and pavements. Some areas across the wider region may experience larger quantities of snow than here, which may disrupt travel into Cardiff for a time.

@metoffice Should there be any disruption to services again tomorrow, we will issue another update in the morning.
