Scotland hit by 'thundersnow' as sub-zero cold snap sparks school and road closures

Scotland has been hit by further sub-zero temperatures today, with some schools being forced to close and motorists facing travel disruption.

In Aberdeenshire, the Met Office reported instances of “thundersnow” as thunderstorms struck alongside the flurry, with photos showing a lightning bolt strike over snow in Largue.

A yellow weather alert for snow and ice is in force across northern Scotland and has been extended until 12pm on Sunday. The Met Office has also issued a yellow warning for ice across southern Scotland until noon on Friday.
