Severe weather warnings for snow and ice have been issued for parts of the UK with parts of the country expected to chill in the first week of 2022.
Brits are being warned that rapidly changing conditions, such as reduced visibility in snow showers, will result in difficult driving and travel conditions.
A yellow warning has been issued by the Met Office in north Scotland – including Inverness – that icy surfaces could cause treacherous walking conditions and there could be some icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths today.
The snow and icy conditions will continue in parts of Scotland on Tuesday but with the addition of severe winds.
These winds could cause disruption including delays to road, air and ferry transport.
High-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges could also face delays while there could be loss of power to some homes and businesses.
Coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities have been warned they could be affected by spray and/or large waves. There is also a flood risk.
