A fresh spell of freezing weather will hit much of the country next week, with 10cm of snow likely in certain areas
Scotland will be hit with a spell of freezing weather at the beginning of next week thanks to a bout of cold air coming in from the north.
Two yellow weather warnings have been issued for Monday, March 6 and Tuesday, March 7 as people are being urged to prepare for the snow and ice that could potentially cause travel disruption and power cuts. The warnings for each day will last from midnight until 11.59pm, covering the entire days. There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off and services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected. Scots are also being warned about the risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
"Into Monday night, showers are expected to continue, and ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces where snow has melted by day."
