The Met Office reported instances of “thundersnow”
Scotland has been hit by further sub-zero temperatures today, with some schools being forced to close and motorists facing travel disruption.
Gritters were out in force as councils battled to keep roads open in the worst affected areas. Traffic Scotland reported a number of roads were closed due to the snowfall. Network Rail said a normal service is planned across Scotland on Friday but, with cold temperatures expected into next week, a call will be held to go over the detailed weather forecast.
Mr Willington said: "As an Arctic, maritime airmass settles across the UK, temperatures will fall with widespread overnight frosts, severe in places, and daytime temperatures only a few degrees above freezing. Forecasters said accumulations of 2-5cm of snow are possible at lower levels in the yellow snow and ice warning area, with 10-15cm above 200 metres, especially across the North Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire.
