Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Train routes were disrupted and schools were closed Friday throughout Britain due to snow, ice and winds from winter storm Goretti.

In Wales, 6.2 inches of snow fell at Lake Vyrnwy in Powys overnight, the BBC reported. Hundreds of homes lost power.

Police told motorists to avoid mountain roads in Rhondda Cynon Taf, a county north of Cardiff. There were several vehicles broken down on the roads.

Some trains were canceled through Friday, and the rail services told people to check their train's status before arriving.
