Travel delays on roads are likely, stranding some vehicles and passengers.<br \/>\n\u201cSome delays and cancellations to rail and air travel are likely. There is a good chance that some rural communities could become cut off with some disruption to power supplies.\u201d<br \/>\nThose attending the Six Nations finale on Saturday at the Principality Stadium, or the football at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday have been told to double check their journeys as there is likely to be disruption to trains and buses.<br \/>\nTransport is already\u00a0affected this weekend by the Six Nations, with many city centre roads closed and bus routes diverted.<br \/>\nMany sports fans are concerned about the impact it might have to sporting events over the weekend.\u00a0Daniel Heines, 35 from Whitchurch said: \u201cIf the last time we had snow is anything to go by then it\u2019s going to be awful.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ve been looking forward to the rugby for months, it will be a bit sad if the stadium is half empty because everyone\u2019s worried about snow.\u201d<br \/>\nCardiff Devils fan Claire had a different approach, she said: \u201cI don\u2019t care what the weather is I\u2019m not missing the game this weekend.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s nearly the end of the season so I don\u2019t have many more chances.
