Read our privacy policy Snow and ice warnings are in place for Scotland as the country endures wintry conditions less than a week after the mildest New Year’s Day on record. The Met Office said the spell of freezing weather will likely cause travel disruption, with some areas seeing temperatures drop to minus 4C and up to 10cm of snow. Forecasters said: “Many places will see one to two hours of snow with a risk of temporary slushy accumulations above 100 to 150 metres, with snow leading to difficult travel conditions.” A separate snow and ice weather warning has been issued from 8pm on Thursday until 12pm on Friday. A spokesman for the Met Office said: “We will see frequent and often heavy snow showers across the warning area, with accumulations possible down to low ground in western and central areas in particular.
