A new warning for snow and ice has been issued by the Met Office.

The yellow warning covers much of Scotland and runs from 5pm tonight until 11am tomorrow morning. 

Public transport could be disrupted, with road conditions suffering as a result of the incliment weather. 

The Met Office said: "Cold air spreading southwards across the UK, following a band of rain, sleet and snow, will bring frequent snow showers to northern, western, and eastern Scotland, as well as parts of Northern Ireland.

"Overnight, these will accumulate on some roads and pavements, with anywhere between a light dusting and several cm of snow possible.

"Between the showers, partially melted snow is likely to freeze on untreated surfaces leading to icy stretches.

"Wintry showers will continue through Tuesday, although by mid-morning the temperature on most roads will likely have risen sufficiently to reduce the risk of further accumulating snow or ice."
