Rush-hour chaos as snow and ice warning issued for Scotland

Wintry showers are set to continue overnight with a Met Office yellow weather warning issued for snow and ice.

From 8pm tonight (Tuesday) until 10am on Wednesday morning snow and ice stretches will bring some travel disruption, especially through morning rush-hour.

Wintry showers will fall as a mixture of rain, hail and snow at times, with snow mostly over higher ground, according to the Met Office .

Some places are likely to see 1-3 cm of snow, with 4-8cm possible over higher ground.

The warning covers most of Scotland with disruption to travel, particularly in the Central Belt.

Temperatures will drop to below zero overnight with widespread frost expected.

The news will not be welcome as Scots have already had to contend with two storms bringing heavy rain and strong winds over the last month.

Flooding across Greater Glasgow last week caused residents to be evacuated as waters rise.

And now with fresh snow on the way it signals another week of miserable weather conditions.
