HEAVY snow has hit parts of Scotland overnight as temperatures dropped as low as minus 8C.
The Met Office has put yellow weather warnings for snow and ice for many parts of the country, with the snowfall already causing travel disruption.
However, many Scots have also taken the opportunity to enjoy the picturesque weather.
Glasgow Airport was forced to suspend all flights due to the snowfall, saying it had been "heavier than forecast" and urging passengers to check with their airline for updates.
ScotRail has also reported some disruption to trains in the west of the country as snow impacts signalling systems.
Temperatures are expected to continue falling over the weekend with the Met Office warning that more snowfall is to be expected.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
