Drivers on a number of northern roads have struggled against dramatic blizzard conditions today as the snow made its predicted return to Scotland.
Gritting teams in the north east and north west hit the roads at 4am this morning in an attempt to protect commuters against today’s snow and minimise disruption.
But with ongoing blizzards, conditions are far from straight forward for drivers, Eddie Ross, north west operating company representative, said: “We urge road users to drive to the conditions as this further period of wintry weather sets in.
“It is essential to check for up to date travel information before setting out on a journey and ensure you and your vehicle are well prepared for winter conditions.
“As the snow will be showery, the conditions may be favourable at the start of your journey however are likely to change so tuning into radio updates or social media is important.”
