🌨️⚠️ Buckle up, folks! Storm Goretti is on its way and it’s packing a snowy punch! The Met Office has issued an amber snow warning for large parts of Wales from Thursday night into Friday, with up to 30cm of snow expected in some areas. This storm could bring dangerous travelling conditions and even a risk to life.
The snow is set to start Thursday evening, moving from higher ground to lower areas and lasting into Friday morning. Areas like Powys, Gwynedd, and Carmarthenshire, among others, are on high alert for heavy snow. Stay safe and be prepared for potential travel chaos, as delays on road, rail, and air are likely. Power cuts may also hit, affecting essential services.
Don’t forget about the yellow warnings! Cardiff, Newport, and other regions could see 5-10cm of snow and strong winds, especially along the coastlines. Such wild weather may result in fallen trees and flooding, so keep it cautious if you’re venturing out.
🚗 If you must travel, make sure your car’s stocked with winter essentials and give yourself extra time. The Met Office advises avoiding unnecessary journeys and checking on neighbours who might need help.
Stay updated with local guidance and brace for a snowy, windy ride! Take care out there, Wales, and let’s get through Storm Goretti safely! 💨❄️
