Falkirk residents wake to snow as weather warning is issued

Residents across Falkirk woke up to a blanket of snow this morning.

Up to 3cm of the white stuff fell making it a slippery commute to the Polling Station for many people.

This time last year the district was basking in 20C heat.

But forecasters say there's no sign of that just yet, and predict the Spring chill continue for a little longer yet.

A Yellow 'be aware' warning for snow is in place across much of Scotland until 11am.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "An area of snow and rain currently extending southwards from the Highlands and Grampians to reach the Central Belt.

"It will turning more showery in nature by mid to late morning as snow level becomes confined to highest roads.

"Snow accumulations of snow up to 3 cm below 150m and 6 cm over higher roads is possible."
