A severe weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for Glasgow and the west tonight.

And the Met Office is warning people to expect treacherous conditions on the roads, icy patches and wintry showers first thing tomorrow (Monday) as the morning commute gets underway.

The yellow warning will come into force from 9pm tonight, and that's been issued for practically the whole of the UK.

It follows an alert for snow and ice which was removed at 11am this morning (Sunday).


It's due to be lifted by 10am tomorrow, so, though we won't have a pleasant journey to work, we'll be faring a lot better than other regions, who have weather warnings predicted to last until Wednesday.

Here in Glasgow, we're told by Met Office forecasters we can expect tonight and tomorrow morning: "Widespread icy patches will develop on untreated surfaces Sunday evening and night.

"Wintry showers will continue through Sunday evening and night onwards into Monday morning. Snow accumulations will tend to be largely confined to hills and mountains above 200-300 metres where a few cms snow is possible. At lower-levels, any accumulations of snow will tend to be quite small and patchy in nature with most areas not seeing any snow settling.

Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."


Though we're in for subzero temperatures, tonight and tomorrow morning, the good news is things should warm up a bit form lunchtime tomorrow, with sunshine and average temperatures of around 6C predicted.
