Glasgow weather: Met Office snow and ice warning in place till midday

A Met Office yellow weather warning is in place in Glasgow until midday today.

Glaswegians woke up to further snowy scenes this morning in the city, with the alert first issued around 9pm last night warning of snow and ice across Strathclyde from midnight.

The UK's national weather service warns that heavy snow showers will bring difficult driving conditions and some disruption to travel is likely as well due to some icy stretches.

The Met Office have confirmed what to expect as a result of the weather:

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths

Last night's full warning reads: "Frequent and heavy snow showers will affect the region overnight, before gradually easing during Friday morning, with many areas becoming dry in the afternoon.

"Around 2 to 5 cm is expected to fall in the area, with up to 10 cm possible in a few places above 150 metres, chiefly in the far north and northeast. Ice is likely to be an additional hazard."
