It comes as the Scottish Government declared a major incident for Shetland on Tuesday after thousands of homes were left without power amid plummeting temperatures. Met Office spokesperson Becky White said that areas covered by the latest weather warnings could see up to 10cm of fresh snow on higher ground. “We could see around 1-4cms at lower levels and 5-10cm on higher ground across the Highlands.” Snow and ice warnings are also in place in the South West until 10am on Wednesday.
