A tree has been removed from the A44 at Montfort Road in Kington and the road is now clear for drivers.
2:18pm
Holmer Road is clear of snow on the roads - but there doesn't appear to be the normal amount of Saturday afternoon traffic.
There's still a lot of snow at Hereford Racecourse - what a fantastic sight.
But it's hard to believe that, 12 months ago today, we were enjoying a heatwave in Hereford.
