Glasgow Met Office yellow weather warning for ice as cold snap hits the city

We are once again starting off the new year with some less than pleasant weather conditions after the Met Office issued an update for the city.

Warning locals of ice, the experts have said that a yellow weather warning will remain in place for the whole of Scotland as well as parts of northern England.

It came into force at 6pm on Sunday (January 1) and is set to stay here until around lunchtime today (January 2) at 11am.

According to the Met Office: "Rain, sleet and snow is expected to ease during Sunday leaving surfaces wet and with a cold night to come this is likely to lead to icy stretches forming widely on untreated surfaces across Scotland.

"In addition some further sleet/snow showers are possible overnight for parts of the west and south though ice remains the main hazard."
