Scotland is continuing to be hit by freezing weather, with rain, sleet and snow expected to fall across large parts of the country. A yellow alert for snow and ice from the Highlands down to the central belt is in place from 09:00 on Sunday until 06:00 on Monday.

Heavy snow and freezing rain are set to bring considerable disruption across the UK, with an amber weather warning now in force. Parts of northern England, the Midlands and Wales are forecast to be among the worst hit as adverse weather pushes northwards throughout the night, possibly bringing 20-40cm (7.8-15.7in) of snow in some places.
