Huge snowdrifts block Scots road as blizzards continue to blanket parts of the country

A Scots road has been blocked by spectacular snowdrifts as blizzards continue to blanket parts of the country.

Pictures from Aberdeenshire show banks of deep snow heaped up by the wind this morning.

The road between Fyvie in Turriff and Cross of Jackston in Inverurie was completely blocked following the extreme weather conditions.

It come after a band of unseasonably cold air brought blizzards as temperatures dipped to well below freezing - with parts of the country seeing lows of -4C.

Yesterday we told how Scots woke up to a white Easter after heavy snowfall battered the country overnight.

Today a yellow weather warning remains in place for snow showers, which may lead to some transport disruption in northern Scotland through Tuesday night. That warning will remain until 10am tomorrow.

The Met Office say some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

Meanwhile a yellow warning for wind has been issued for Shetland between 12pm and 5pm on Tuesday.

A period of very strong northerly winds is expected to lead to some disruption.

Met Office chiefs have warned locals to expect delays to public transport including bus services and ferry crossings while some short term loss of power is possible.
