Heavy snow to hit Edinburgh for three days this week as fresh Met Office weather warning issued

Edinburgh is set for three days of heavy snow as the Met Office warn that vehicles and passengers could become "stranded" on roads.

Snow showers are expected to start at 7am on Monday and continue through to Wednesday.

Yellow weather alerts for wind and snow on Monday and Tuesday, and snow and ice on Wednesday, have been put in place.

The Met Office say that "heavy snow and strong winds will combine to lead to disruption to travel, especially over higher routes" tomorrow.

They add that travel delays on roads could leave vehicles and passengers stranded and rail and air travel could be cancelled or delayed.

Power cuts and mobile phone coverage could also be affected while icy patches could make things dangerous on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

Edinburgh is currently being battered by strong winds and rain, with Storm Ciara causing significant disruption on Sunday.

Edinburgh Live reported this morning how a "river" appeared on Seafield Road, Edinburgh Waverley had been shut to all non-ScotRail services and, more recently, how part of Edinburgh's tram line had been shut off due to flooding.

The Forth Road Bridge has also been closed to all vehicles while restrictions are in place on the Queensferry Crossing.
