Snow has fallen across large parts of Wales causing travel disruption with an amber weather warning in place. North Wales Police is advising against all but essential travel after a number of crashes on the A55 at Llanddulas, Conwy county, due to "extremely poor weather conditions".

Large parts of the country will face disruption from heavy snow and freezing rain over the weekend after forecasters issued two amber weather warnings. Stranded vehicles on the roads, delayed or cancelled rail and air travel and power cuts are all likely as the UK grapples with a week-long spell of wintry conditions, the Met Office said.

One amber weather warning has been put in place for Wales, while another covers from the Midlands up to Manchester. Less severe yellow weather warnings are also in force for parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and elsewhere in England.
