🌨️❄️ Heads up, Wales! Friday brings a dose of winter magic with snow forecasts set to sweep across the country, as the Met Office issues a 12-hour snow and ice warning for 15 areas starting at midnight. Here’s what you need to know to be prepared:
1️⃣ **Sub-zero Temperatures**: An Arctic chill is heading our way as we welcome 2026. Brace yourself for freezing conditions that’ll have you reaching for those scarves and gloves.
2️⃣ **Snow Showers**: Expect ‘snow flurries’ lasting 2-3 hours in parts, potentially blanketing the ground with up to 5cm of snow. Should make for a scenic, but slippery, start to the day!
3️⃣ **Affected Areas**: Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, and more – if you’re in these areas, prepare for a winter wonderland with a side of travel disruption.
4️⃣ **Icy Hazards**: The wintry mix means icy patches are likely, posing slip and fall risks on untreated roads and pavements. Stay safe and tread carefully!
5️⃣ **More to Come**: The weekend might not let up, with additional snow showers predicted for Sunday. Keep those snow boots handy!
Stay informed, stay safe, and don’t forget your winter gear if you’re out and about! 🌬️✨
