Met Office extends weather warning for snow and ice across Highland

Met Office have extended their yellow weather warning for snow and ice in the Highlands to December 16.

A bulletin posted by the Met Office at 10.04am today stated: "Wintry showers will affect many areas of northern Scotland and parts of northeast England during this period.

"A few centimetres of snow are likely to accumulate at low levels with the potential for as much as 15-20cm over higher ground. In addition, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces, mainly where some of the showers fall as sleet close to coasts."

Highland Council's road condition report for Inverness on December 12 said:"Very low road surface temperatures this morning but roads mainly dry. Caution advised while driving on the network with all routes and paths being treated. No overnight issues."

What to expect:

• Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services

• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces

• Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
