HEAVY snowfall caused massive disruption in North Wales yesterday – with more on the way over the weekend. 

Up to 25cm (10 inches) fell overnight in Gwynedd and Anglesey, making driving conditions treacherous, with a lighter icy covering in north east Wales.

Some roads, particularly on higher ground, were closed, as gritting crews worked around the clock to keep traffic moving.

Hospital operations and outpatient clinics were cancelled at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, and the North Wales Air Ambulance was grounded.

The snow also caused schools and libraries to close and refuse collections to be suspended. Council offices also closed early.
