Scotland weather RECAP: Snow, icy roads and schools closed as Storm Goretti approaches UK

Widespread disruption due to heavy snow continues across Scotland on Wednesday, with hundreds of schools in northern parts of the country closed for a third day.

Yellow Met Office warnings for snow and ice in the north remain in place until 11.59pm, while a yellow warning for ice is in place for almost all of Scotland until 10am on Wednesday morning.

A major incident was declared by Aberdeenshire Council on Tuesday, with the local authority warning there was a “good chance” some communities would be cut off off due to the heavy snowfall.

Travel disruption is expected to improve throughout the day, with several rail lines now reopened, however some journeys will still be affected and many will be waking up to hazardous road conditions again today.
