NASA share incredible satellite snapshots of Scotland from space as Storm Darcy hits

NASA has shared some incredible satellite snapshots of what Scotland looked like as Storm Darcy barrelled in with snowstorms earlier this week.

The US space agency posted the images online of the country covered by a huge white cloud as temperatures dropped below freezing this week.

While on the ground it was hard to miss the havoc the snowstorm was wreaking, with a gritter even becoming no match for one icy road in the capital, it all looked pretty serene from above in the aerial images.

Travel networks are still struggling to cope with the severe conditions today but there are more weather warnings around the corner, according to forecasters.

The Met Office has issued a fresh yellow weather warning for snow and ice this Saturday.

It comes as Edinburgh woke to an "extreme freeze" as weather forecasters predicts the temperature is unlikely to make it above freezing for most of the day.

Highs of just 1C are expected between 2pm before the mercury drops back below zero by 5pm.
