One eyewitness said: "Main roads were terrible (motorway) and all through Moscow and neighbouring villages (A719).

"No sign of gritters and cars were getting stuck on hills."

Another eyewitness has reported two lorries ditched on the inside lane of the M77 close to Eaglesham, East Renfrewshire.

A Met Office yellow warning for snow is in place until 10am tomorrow morning.

The warning reads: "Wintry showers are expected to continue through Wednesday night into Thursday morning, especially over Northern Ireland and western Scotland, before developing more widely across parts of northern England, the north Midlands and north Wales later in the night.

"This will leave surfaces wet, leading to icy stretches developing on untreated surfaces.

"Showers will fall as a mixture of hail, sleet and snow. Some places are likely to see one to three centimetres of snow, mainly above 100 metres, with five to 10cm possible above 400m."
