Parts of Scotland have continued to be hit with winter conditions, as temperatures have plummeted below freezing in some areas of the country.
It comes amid a yellow weather warning was issued from the Met Office earlier this week on Monday (November 18) for snow and ice, which is set to be in place until 10am on Wednesday (November 20).
Some schools across the UK have been forced to close their doors amid travel disruptions and delays. The Met Office previously warned that “there is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off.”
However currently, there is currently no closures for schools in Scotland. School closures can happen because of emergencies like severe wind, extreme winter weather and flooding. Households can continue to check for any closures on their local council’s website, which can be found here.
Much of the country woke up to a winter freeze on Monday, which is set to continue into Wednesday, People across the UK should expect “travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.”
Inverness, Aberdeen and as far as Portree, Stornoway and Stromness are blanketed by the latest yellow warning which follows two previous alerts.

Areas affected can expect up to between one to three centimetres of snow on lower ground, with this increasing to between five to 10cm in places above 300m.
The Met Office stated: “Snow and hail showers will affect northern parts of Scotland at times, becoming heavier and more frequent on Monday night, through much of Tuesday and then overnight into Wednesday morning.
“Showers may be sleety at times along north-facing coasts, although icy surfaces are likely at times.”
Brought on by a bout of Arctic air, this “disruptive” cold snap is set to bring travel chaos and winter hazards. Some roads and railways may be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.
People have also been warned the increased risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
