SNOW fell across parts of the country and temperatures struggled to get much above freezing as a band of wintry weather hit the UK today.

A Met Office yellow warning for ice came into force at 4pm and continues until 11am tomorrow morning, covering much of the country.

Travellers faced some disruption as roads were closed and flights delayed due to the icy conditions.

Gritters out in force across Scotland overnight were restocking supplies to return and treat the roads.

Snow was not confined to the hills in Scotland, with flurries in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and there was also snowfall on the Pennines in the North-East.

By mid-morning Police Scotland had received 125 reports of road incidents, with the force urging motorists to slow down and drive to the conditions.

The A83 was blocked in Argyll and Bute, while the B974 in Aberdeenshire closed after vehicles got stuck in snow.
