Met Office issues warning of snow and ice across parts of Scotland

The Met Office has issued weather warnings for snow and ice – but those hoping for a white Christmas are likely to be disappointed.

Those driving home for Christmas, however, have been warned to take care on Scotland’s roads.

A Met Office spokesperson said: “Wintry showers will give a risk of icy patches and snow overnight and into Christmas Eve, giving some difficult driving conditions.”

The snow and ice across parts of Scotland is expected from 9pm on Wednesday to 11am on Thursday.
