Traffic delays as snow causes poor visibility on A90 and A96 this morning

Cold conditions have swept across Scotland
Cold conditions have swept across Scotland

Drivers were treated to a dose of spring snow in Aberdeenshire this morning.

The A90 was hit by wintry conditions between Laurencekirk and Stonehaven as weather forecasters warned of more ice and snow this week.

Traffic Scotland tweeted pictures from live cameras around their roads network showing snow falling in multiple locations in the north-east.

Drivers have been warned to take care on the roads and there have been reports of delays as visibility is affected.

Met Office forecaster Emma Boorman said: “It’s going to be cold this week, particularly at the start of the week.

“Winds are coming from the north. The originated in the Arctic and that’s why it is colder than we normally expect it to be at this time of year.

“In the South it will be mixture of sunshine and showers but further north these showers will turn increasingly wintry – that’s a mixture of rain, some sleet and some snow.

“The winds will be strengthening through Monday and so this afternoon they could reach gale force in Scotland and then early evening in the north of England as well.

“Later on, eastern swathes of the country could see some winds reaching gale force.”
