Buses in the city are running largely as usual, but elsewhere in the county there are delays and rerouted services.
DRM Bus, which runs routes around Bromyard, Ledbury and Hereford, including the 420 and 476, said services might be later than scheduled.

In Hereford, Sargeants said all city services, as far as Credenhill, including the 71, are running as normal for the time being. If the weather worsens, this could change, it said.
All rural services and school runs are suspended until further notice, it said, with safety "paramount".

It said: "As you may be aware, there is a little light dusting of snow in and around Hereford this morning. Please be patient with us whilst we endeavour to operate our services.
"Most of our ’rural’ services are currently operating on main roads only. We will keep you posted as best we can. Stay safe out there."
