Aber Prom Winter Weather 2010 IMG_5104, originally uploaded by aberystwyth-online.

After an evening of light snow and freezing temperatures Aberystwyth and the rest of Wales awakes to sunshine!

Although Aber did not see a great deal of snow, inland saw snow lying up to 8 inches deep, no wonder town seemed very quiet with very little early morning traffic, town resembled a ghost town with very few commuters and shoppers. Schools throughout Ceredigion closed as many found the weather conditions difficult.

With another big freeze tonight temperatures could hit lows of -8, leaving driving conditions treacherous for the morning. With further cold weather forecast the winter of 2010 will be the coldest in 30 years.
