Flood alerts are in place as Wales starts to thaw

The snow is beginning to thaw across Wales in the wake of storm Emma and the 'Beast from the East'.

Some roads remain closed and there are some flood alerts in place in some areas.

The snow caused widespread disruption across the country.

Shops shut in the capital and trains, flights and buses were cancelled and homes were left without power.
