Pembrokeshire awoke to a blanket of snow on Tuesday morning.

But while the wintry weather, which has been gripping most of the country, brought picture postcard scenes, it also caused widespread disruption.

More than two-thirds of schools were closed because of the snow.

By 9.45 am, a total of 63 had announced they were shut for the day, including seven of the county's eight secondary schools.

Some schools, however, were open, including Tenby Junior School and Saundersfoot CP School.

Pembrokeshire County Council gritting lorries worked from 7 pm on Monday and throughout the night to keep the county's main roads open to traffic.

The B4314 Narberth to Robeston Wathen road was closed, however, following a one vehicle accident shortly before 9 am.

Two people were in the vehicle, a red Ford Puma, which ended up upside down in the middle of the road.

An ambulance and two fire appliances attended, but police said afterwards no-one was believed to have suffered serious injuries.

The road was closed at the Narberth end and Cox Hill due to weather conditions, but was open by approximately 3 pm.

Elsewhere, a number of bus services were interrupted, including: Haverfordwest - Tenby (via Narberth); Haverfordwest - Carmarthen; Tenby - Pembroke Dock (via Carew); and Dale - Haverfordwest.

Fishguard and Crymych Leisure Centres and Narberth and St. David's swimming pools were closed.

Neyland library and customer service centre was also closed, as was the town's customer service centre.

A burst water pipe overnight on Monday shut the County Records Office for the day.

Meanwhile, between 7 am and 10 am on Tuesday, staff in the customer service centre in County Hall, Haverfordwest, handled over 400 calls from the public concerned about the weather conditions - around half the number taken during a full working day.

Hywel Dda NHS Trust did not report any significant increases in attendance at A&E Departments.

A small number of planned operations were cancelled due to patients not being able to get into hospital, but these will be re-scheduled.

The Trust would like to thank members of staff who made great efforts to come into work - many of whom walked through the snow.

The arctic weather conditions did see the closure of Carew Castle, Castell Henllys and Oriel y Parc.

Elsewhere, Narberth Town Council postponed their monthly meeting at the Queen's Hall until next Tuesday at 7.30 pm.

The Visit Wales Seminar, due to have been held at Folly Farm, Begelly, was also cancelled, but will be rearranged for another date.

As we were going to press yesterday (Thursday), the snow had returned to the county causing more disruption, with various services being affected and some schools closing again.

Weather forecasters were expecting snow showers to continue throughout the day.
