There was a snowfall ranging from 4 inches (10cm) at lower levels up to about 6 inches (15cm) at higher elevations in the city overnight January 5th/6th 2010. Main roads were quickly cleared, but side roads remained mostly snow-covered, causing difficulties for drivers in the hillier parts of the city. Shown here is Caerleon Road approaching the bridge over the M4 at junction 25. The Newport Bus single-decker would normally proceed to the hilly St Julians area, and return to Caerleon Road at a junction nearer the city centre, but today its route was shortened to end at the motorway roundabout and return directly to the bus station via Caerleon Road. Thus while hilly areas of St Julians had no bus service, this low-lying section of Caerleon Road had a more frequent service to the bus station than normal.
