Met Office yellow snow and rain warning downgraded
It comes following a Met Office yellow weather warning of widespread snow this morning from Perth to Wick.
Snow was forecast on high ground, with rain also expected, with a suggestion the weather “could bring disruption to travel”.
The weather warning has since been downgraded.
Yesterday a Met Office spokesperson warned the rain and snow could cause “disruption in places, mainly to travel.”
Adding: “There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.”
On Monday, the Met Office said Stornoway enjoyed 9.5hours of sunshine, while Kinbrace in the Highlands recorded the lowest overnight temperature of -2.6C.
