FOLLOWING the overnight snow and freezing rain, conditions in Pembrokeshire are treacherous this morning.
Drifting on roads makes driving dangerous.
There is widespread ice on untreated roads and pavements, and any travel will be potentially dangerous.

The group's home visit service will also be limited.

First Cymru's 349, 356 and 348 services to Tenby, Neyland, Pembroke Dock, Monkton and Johnston are NOT running today.
This is due to awful conditions in Neyland, and being unable to pass through Sentry Cross.
The 302 service between Haverfordwest and Hubberston is now running, but will travel along Hamilton Terrace, terminating at Tesco.
The service is expected to keep running until between 3pm and 5pm, when it starts getting dark.
A spokesman was unable to say whether buses will be running tomorrow, as refreezing of ice is currently making most roads dangerous to drive on.

❄️ Please take extra care if visiting Milford Waterfront or Havens Head Retail Park today. There are patches of unnoticeable ice, which are treacherous to walk or drive on. Grit will be spread though the day, but please don’t venture out unless you absolutely have to ❄️

Latest from Pembrokeshire County Council: do not travel unless absolutely necessary.
Just an update on roads. We've been out gritting through the night on main roads but not side roads. That said, freezing rain and snow have made them very hard to treat so unless your journey is necessary, please don't venture out. They are treacherous and potentially dangerous.

"We have started to send teams to clear and salt pavements and pathways in Tenby, Saundersfoot, Narberth, Milford, Neyland areas and we are trying to get to other problematic areas such as Fishguard and Goodwick."
