Wintry showers are set to blanket much of Scotland overnight, with chaos expected as the country prepares to return to school and work on Monday.
The Met Office has warned of potential travel disruption, including stranded vehicles and passengers, as well as delays or cancellations to rail and air services, as Scotland is hit by an Arctic blast. There is also a slight chance that some rural communities may become isolated. Met Office Chief Forecaster Frank Saunders said: “We’re seeing snow accumulations building in the expected areas covered by the Amber warning, and there will be further snowfall over the higher ground in northern England throughout today, probably turning heavier again this evening. Cold conditions in Scotland will continue, with snow showers in many coastal areas, and more persistent snow for a time in the southeast.
