Storm Eunice to bring more snow and ice as drivers urged 'take care'

Motorists across Falkirk are being urged to take care on the roads as more snow and ice is forecast tonight.

Drivers faced challenging conditions because of Storm Eunice during this mornings rush hour, with places like Denny, Bonnybridge, Haggs and Fankerton worst hit.

Blizzard like conditions were also reported on a stretch of the M80 for a time.

Falkirk Council has taken to Twitter advising people that despite continued gritting, some roads could still be treacherous in places.

A Yellow 'be aware' alert comes into force from 6pm tonight, until 9am Saturday morning.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Brisk northwesterly winds will continue to bring increasingly wintry showers across this area overnight on Friday and at first on Saturday.

"Some snow is likely to accumulate over around 200 m (another 10-15 cm over Scottish Mountains), but the wintry mix is more likely to bring a risk of icy roads and pavements, as surfaces left wet by showers (or hail/snow/slush) then fall below freezing.

"Most showers will ease by Saturday morning."
