Travel Warning And School Closures As Blast From The Arctic Sweeps Britain

The warning has been issued by the Met Office for snow until 6pm today in north-west Scotland and the Northern Isles, meaning road delays are likely and some vehicles could be stranded.

Tuesday night was the coldest January night since 2019, according to provisional recordings by the Met Office. In Dalwhinnie in the Scottish Highlands, temperatures fell to-14C on Tuesday night.

Hundreds of schools in Scotland were shut again yesterday amid the wintry weather and motorists were advised to drive with care.

All council schools and nurseries in Shetland and Orkney were closed, along with 144 in the Highlands and about 90 in Aberdeenshire, while others delayed their opening times.

The Met Office amber warning came with a forecast that some areas could have an extra 15-20cm of snow, meaning power cuts were likely and more remote communities were at risk of being cut off.
