 Pembrokeshire County Council was gritting primary routes on Tuesday evening and overnight, and was patrolling the higher roads towards dawn today.

Ceredigion County Council said that its gritters had been out overnight treating the pre-salting routes.

However, drivers should take care as recent hail, snow and rain showers had made conditions treacherous. The gritters are out on the roads again this morning, patrolling and responding to issues as they arise.

Road users are advised to take care if travelling on untreated roads.
