Thundersnow and the Pembrokeshire Dangler come to Wales

Parts of Wales have been hit with snow and ice, with some areas experiencing a flash of "thundersnow".

This occurs when snow falls during a thunderstorm - at night, the lightning looks brighter because it reflects off the snowflakes.

West Wales also experienced the effects of the Pembrokeshire Dangler - a persistent line of showers that form in the Irish Sea and converge with surface winds before hitting the Welsh coastline.

BBC Weather's Sabrina Lee explains more.
