Many councils in Wales say that announcement was premature.

We have not reached a definite position

This is disappointing really that we find out that the government

seemed to have given up on the situation.

You may need your long johns this weekend. It is going to stay cold

and windy. Some dry weather but also some wintry showers. A little snow

on some of the hills and mountains. Most places dry tonight. A

widespread frost and you may be lucky and catch a glimpse of the

on the hills and mountains. Across the rest of the UK, wintry showers

will spread further westwards to ring the day. Most of the snow on

higher ground. The best of the sunshine in the far north and west

of Scotland. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, it should be a little bit

of sunshine in Pembrokeshire but for most of us, cloudy. There will be

some showers around. Wintry on higher ground. Drier in sheltered

parts of the South and West. Feeling cold everywhere in the wind. If you

are in Cardiff for the rugby match tomorrow afternoon, it will be cold

but mostly dry. Good luck to Wales. Tomorrow night, further showers. A

little snow on the hills. Drier in the South West. Temperatures close

to freezing. High pressure over Scandinavia on Sunday. That means

stronger winds in Wales making it feel very cold. Again, there will be

some showers. Wintry on higher ground. Drier and brighter in

sheltered parts of the West. They called weekend, windy on Monday with
