With Pembrokeshire expected to receive possible significant amounts of snow from midday tomorrow (Thursday, March 1), road users are being advised not to make unnecessary journeys.

According to the Met Office, light snow will move in from the South into Pembrokeshire from around 8 am to 9 am tomorrow with no major disruption anticipated to the road network and other services in the morning.

However, towards the later part of the day and into the evening, accumulations in parts of Pembrokeshire of two to five centimetres is possible as the snow becomes more widespread and heavier in Wales, with a greater potential risk of disruptions.  

“The advice from the local authority is that during this period road users should not make unnecessary journeys” said Pembrokeshire County Council’s cabinet member for planning and infrastructure, Phil Baker.

“As is the authority’s customary policy in bad weather, we will be gritting the county’s main routes but this is only a fifth of our road network so many other roads will not be treated.

“So the advice is that if you have to make a journey, please only do so with extreme care.”

Schools are expected to open as normal tomorrow, but it will be the decision of each headteacher if they remain open for the duration of the day.
